Getting started.

Hello and welcome to my training blog!  I'm participating in the "Tough Mudder" obstacle course Northampton May 2012. My personal challenge is to get into maximum physical fitness within the time limit so I can

a) Survive the damn thing
b) Raise as much money as possible through sponsorship for the Help for Heroes charity.

www.toughmudder.com is a 12 mile obstacle course designed by British special forces. Go check out the website for full details.

I'm a freelance artist (painter) living in Stoke-on-Trent in the Midlands, UK. 2011 has been a very exciting and challenging year as I have become self employed and committed myself fully to my dream of being an artist and curator. That said I've made some pretty poor lifestyle choices along the way.

So currently I don't spend every day in the gym lifting weights (or any days actually). I am 3 stone overweight, out of shape and work as an artist/ freelancer. So obviously i'm not your typical candidate for this sort of thing. That's why it will be a BIG challenge, worth your support & sponsorship pounds!

Currently setting up a sponsorship website and details. So more info on how to donate is to come.

Happy New year!
