Saturday 24th February was the Marathon Circuit Training event at the Ryland Centre in Bromsgrove. What a fantastic day that was! Not only did we raise over £300 for Macmillan but we also had the support of dozens of circuit trainers and their friends and family!
Jamie, Steve and Matt ran the three separate 1 hour classes, each adding their own flavour to their class. I'm really grateful to them for giving up their time to do it, they made it a great day.
ASDA in Bromsgrove kindly donated all of the refreshments which were looked after on the day by my wife, Hilary and my Mum.
The whole event came together because of the selfless help of numerous people, for instance Pete Hember helped us immeasurably by arranging the printing of our event flyers thus making sure that we got the word out to every circuit trainer. We even managed to make the newspaper thanks to the interest of Pete McKinney at the Bromsgrove Advertiser.
An unforgettable day!
What's this blog all about?
You may already know that I'm a keen road runner, and that I ran the Flora London Marathon in 2007 and raised £3300 for Macmillan Cancer Care... this year decided to try once again to get a place in the Flora London Marathon.
In late November I was stunned to receive notification that I had been accepted for a ballot place, a 2008 London Marathon place was now assured.
I created this blog just to keep a record of important (and not so important) events along the way!
