Run, Fat Boy, Run

A break from our usual programme of blog posts about our consistent failure to train for our own events by bringing you an endorsement for Carl Bembridge and his marvellous Mind Marathon.

In Carl's words his Mind Marathon is a '238lb man vs a 26.01 mile route' which is completely in the spirit of Team Run, Fat Girl, Run!

Carl will run from his home in Mickleover (Derby) to his work in Matlock on Friday 30 July 2010 as a personal challenge to get fit in mind and body and to also raise money for the mental health charity Mind.

A great idea and a challenge most people would find difficult. I know how difficult I am finding it to get my head around running (or even jogging or walking 10km) so I am 100% this effort and will be endeavouring to run alongside Carl for at least part of his distance.

If you can spare a few pennies to encourage Carl on his way and support this important charity please visit his Mind Marathon Just Giving page.

In the meantime Team Run, Fat Girl, Run salutes Carl and are honoured to bestow upon him the dubious pleasure of being an honourary Fat Girl.

Run, Fat Boy, Run!
