I'm useless at blogging. I'm also useless at Twitter. About once a month I remember to say something and spend an hour staring the screen wondering what I could say that would be of the slightest interest to anyone. I then give up and watch the Big Bang Theory or read some Neil Gaiman novels.
This time, though, I will try to keep the blog going, knowing that I only have to do it for about a month. In a month's time (May 8-11), I will throw myself up various mountains, on a bike and on my feet, and drag myself along a 3 mile watercourse to raise money for the University of St Andrews' Project Zambia: a fantastic scheme to take students to Africa, to develop sports and educational projects for communities and youth and to encounter a radically different culture.
The blog will describe my training activities as I prepare for this and probably open some windows onto my weird psychology. Hopefully it will provide a portal for some of you to donate to this project as we work towards the £25,000 that needs to be raised.
If you do want to give, click here.
Okay, that's the basics, and I need to get back to work. I'll make a post tonight on why I am interested in the project and also giving some basic descriptions of my fitness statistics and goals.
