I said yes straightaway without even thinking about it. It was nice and sunny. I may have had a beer. The Yes came straight away for a few reasons.
That's what I tell myself....
But actually the main clincher for me was that my brother simplfied the challenge and made it sound do- able:
So I am going to treat this like a project. I've been writing about it in my blog about how you can challenge yourself and make amazing projects by breaking it down, the massive, monster project into the little milestones. |

I want to follow my own advice and do something, which at first seems to be out of reach, like running 50 miles in 24 hours. I haven't ran more than three or four miles since 1985, when I was ten, and I ran the Great North Run. That put me off running for life. I don't go to the gym. I've been to the gym twice in my life. I do swim half a mile a week and skateboard. I do a bit of surfing now and then, but that's pretty inconsistent. I've been doing that for about 10 years, so I have got a basic fitness from that. |

I'm going to blog about my progress. I am doing the blogging so that I can raise money for charity primarily. I am blogging to put it out there in the public domain, as well, so that I make sure that I stick to my word. So, I hope you like my updates.
The next blog post about this undertaking will be about milestones and breaking it down into achievable goals. First goal? To download Strava.
I am raising money for a charity called Epic Kidz, who provide small grants for volunteer groups organising sporting or recreational activities for children. If you would like to support this activity then please donate here.
