run a mile in 5 minutes
Untitled 12 months ago

i am determined to do this, and will attempt to achieve it by the end of this year! i just went for a timed mile and it took 7:08 which was better than i hoped as i havent run a lot this year, and its not a flat mile. when i can do this course below 5:30 i will try on a track which will be flatter and so quicker. my best ever mile was around 6:15. two months and counting

swim the english channel (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 13 months ago

i made my first attempt at swimming the english channel a few weeks ago. unfortunately i was unsuccesful, being pulled from the water after almost 15 hours and with france within sight. the tides had turned and were against me, carrying me sideways for the last few hours. after training for over a year, to get so close and fail was devastating, but i will be back in 2011 for another go. next time i will be faster and stronger and i will make it!

playdreamer. not wearing a wetsuit is to keep the swim in line with matthew webbs first ever swim back in 1875, wearing just a costume. it is part of the challenge, you versus the elements. yes its cold, its also dirty and rough and theres ferries and tankers and jellyfish, and strong tides that wash you up and down the channel. thats the challenge. without a support boat and the help of one of the Channel swimming associations, dont even bother
