The First Post

Ah the social awkwardness that comes with introductions.... well let's break the ice.... Hello, how are you?

I suppose I better introduce who we are and why you are bothering to read this. We are a group of unfit, well I suppose I am speaking for myself here, people with aspirations above our station who are going to attempt to battle through 10 miles of blood, sweat and tears in Portsmouth on the 24th of October in order to say that we have completed the Great South Run!

Now why is this of interest to you, well we aren't the kind of people to bother you for charity fundraising money for something we are going to enjoy doing.... We understand that if you are going to donate your hard earned moolah to a great cause then you want to know we suffered. This blog will be proof of the hours of training we are going to put in, the intrinsic details of my blisters, how we deal with Stacie's athletes foot, the verbal abuse we will get from Rosie to complete another mile of training....

So hopefully you will get more from this than the warm satisfaction of donating to charity, you will also get the even warmer, some may say boiling, satisfaction of sitting back in a comfortable chair and reading about the journey that will hopefully end up with us taking the finish line in Portsmouth on the 24th of October (maybe the 25th depending on speed!)

Right I have whittled on for long enough, to keep the excitement building the charity (there is a clue hidden away) and the team will be revealed in full detail in subsequent posts so keep your eyes peeled good people.

Adios for now,

Andrew
