Big thanks to Mr Baines for getting the ball rolling on my Sport Relief sponsor form…

I suppose I have to go through with it now!

Just a quick update on what is happening there:

I am signed up to run a mile round Lister Park, on March 16th, kick off at 10.00am.  I know I said I was going to attempt to run 3 miles, but I got a bit confused when signing myself up.  And on reflection, given that my current stamina levels are on a par with a newly born kitten, and up to now the most strenuous thing I do is turn the ignition on my car, and given the short space of time I have realistically got to get in shape, I think the mile is enough for now.  I will attempt to run 3 miles, but as far as sponsorhip is concerned, I will run a mile.

I spoke to Andy, landlord of the Kings on Tuesday night, and he expressed interest in joining ‘Team Heatonian’.  So if you are still interested Andy, let me know and we can set the sponsorship page up as a team effort.

Current training schedule is as follows:

1. Go to gym on Friday 1st February for induction, and discuss training programme to get me up to ‘match fitness’.
2. Straight after gym, go on farewell pub crawl round Heaton and get absolutely stoated.  This is to mark the fact that, special occasions aside, not a drop of alcohol will pass my lips until around 11.00am on March 16th.  Pub crawl will begin in the Delvers, have a couple in the Kings before the band starts, then finish up in the Fountain till they kick me out.  Anyone wishing to join me for all or part of this event is welcome, as are free pints of lovely lovely Stella.
3. Sunday morning – GYM!  This will comprise of whatever I agree with my advisor.

In other news, I ran into History Tom in the Kings last night…

Amongst the quite highbrow discussion we had about the Bronze Age (when was it, was it the same period of time the world over, revised dating based on Egyptian chronology etc.), it came out in discussion that he was currently eating out a lot at the Mucky Duck.  I pointed out that since his new female neighbours moved in to Herbies old pad, he had been in regular receipt of plated meals from said neighbours.  I’ve even witnessed meals being delivered to him in the Kings!  Alas though, the novelty appears to have worn off, and for the past week the poor soul has had to fend for himself.

So, I’d like to launch an appeal:

Feed Tom!  He can’t afford to eat at the Mucky Duck EVERY night you know!
