Reading Time: 3 minutes

Week 48: another great week this week; lots more miles covered! Again I managed to keep to my plan so it’s looking good for finishing this mad challenge a week before the Christmas holiday begins!

I’m still ahead with my running miles again – must keep it that way! – and I’ve also managed to catch up on my cycling deficit, finishing the week a healthy 53 miles up on where I should be. Again, I need to make sure that it stays that way over the coming week too.

I hit a major milestone this week too, crossing the 4000 mile barrier! It’s almost impossible to imagine but this year I have carried this lazy carcass of mine over 4000 miles with my walking, running and cycling. Utterly mad when you think about it, but I’m so pleased I pressed on. I can almost taste the finish to this huge undertaking!

The last couple of weeks have taken their toll though so maybe it’s a good thing that next week I’ve got a lot of things going on, forcing me to have some down time from all the exercise?

Here are the scores on the doors for this week:

Sponsor Me Please!

Don’t forget, you can get to my fundraising page at the following location:

http://www.virginmoneygiving.com/AnotherBadIdea

The page will be live throughout my challenge this year (and a couple of months after) so please, when you can, give a few pounds to help some very worthy charities.

Why not do like my good mate Stu’s doing? He’s sponsoring me 2p a mile – which is amazingly generous, thanks Stu! You don’t have to pledge that much; 1p, 1/2p, 1/10p…it’ll all add up considering I’ll be covering at least 4012 miles this year!

Thanks. It means a lot and is very much appreciated.
