I am running in memory of my Grandad, Jock who died in June 2011 after suffering from heart conditions for several years. He was very active and a keen runner, running many half marathons, and only stopped on doctors orders in his seventies due to his heart condition. His favourite past time was walking his dogs around the local country parks. I know he is very proud of all my achievements to date, and I wanted to dedicate this challenge to him. This challenge would only have been made better if he was here to see me do it.
So the challenge itself... The event starts on the 19th May at 1pm
and I will be running as many laps of a 6.55 mile loop as possible
in 24 hours. I am hoping to run at least a minimum of 50
miles, and hope to be capable of more on the day... but you have my
promise that no matter what I will do my very best! There
will be an area at the race HQ where I can rest/eat as and when I
feel necessary, but the rest of my time will be spent running.
