My motivation

Back in 2014, a year after growing a terribly received mo, I decided I would instead 'put the Move into Movember'. I set myself targets of walking/running 100miles and losing 10lbs in weight during November and was pleased to achieve both.

Eight years on, I'm again carrying some extra timber so have set myself the same challenge! I know it will be harder, being that bit older, but I want to do it in the name of Men's Health, especially in support of everyone affected by suicide. As approximately 75% of lives lost to suicide are male, we need to do all we can to prevent men taking this devastating decision to end their own lives.

Thanks for reading my motivation and if you've parted with your hard-earned money, then you are an absolute star. Please feel free to wait until I've completed this challenge before donating!

Big up everyone else raising money for this great cause!

Midway Update:
Weight: 200.0lbs
Weight difference: - 4.4 lbs
Thoughts: can't lie, finding this aspect of the challenge really tough. Had hoped to have lost more weight by now. Although I've reduced my 'naughty' food intake, alongside the increased exercise, I'm still too partial for cakes, chocolates and fast-food! Now need to leave that all (ok, cut down further rather than completely leave!) and add more 'good' food to my diet.
Distance travelled: 167 miles.
Thoughts: Following generous donations, really want to make 300 miles by the end of the month. On track, need to keep the discipline and stay lucky.

Thoughts: F*** it, doubling my target to 200 miles over the course of the month! Pleased with how I’ve started but want to keep the momentum going. 100 miles is soooo 2014!
