any of my old school friends in wallingford that know me er well they'll just never believe that i can run 26 miles because i don't know if when you were at school, but when er when we used to have a cross-country run i was the one at the back and usually the p e instructor used to go round and whack us with a slipper, you know the slow ones and i was unfortunately one of those, but er now i've been running with the bicester road runners for what 2 years, er half, i've done a few half marathons, nothing anywhere near 26 miles, i've, my furthest run until yesterday was 16 miles, and yesterday, injured, with a bandage round my knee, i managed 18 miles, and i'm pleased to say it's still holding out and i'm quietly confident that i'm going to complete this, and like i say, if i can er well, just get the local businesses in bicester interested and to support me, i say however small, just a, you know, if they, a penny a mile from just a few of the businesses in bicester and, well, the bible school could have, you know, a few pounds coming to them, which i'm sure they'd be, you know, greatly received.
