London Marathon competition

sunman00

The London Marathon is being run this coming Sunday; I don't have an entry but since joining MFP on Jan 4th I've walked at least 4 miles every day so I've decided to try to walk the course on Saturday :-)

I'd like to run a competition on here;

I'd like people to guess how far I'll get; I have a pedometer which measures my walk in km, a full marathon is 42km, so I'd like guesses in km please.

IF I finish I'd like people to try to guess my finish time.

so you guess a distance AND a finish time.

The person who guesses closest to how far I get or my finish time will be the winner.

I'll send the winning guesser a £50 Amazon gift voucher as a prize

- some background information;

I'm 53 years old

on walks up to 6 miles I cover miles in around 18 minutes.

I have osteoarthritis in my right knee; it's been great on all my walks but could cause me to quit at any time.

the weather forecast couldn't be better, 10dgs Celcius, sunny, no wind.

If anybody would like to sponsor me please feel free; I'll be donating anything I raise to the family who lost their 8 year old son in Boston last week; you can come through me or donate directly to them if they've set anything up in the US. I'll be making a personal donation myself based on how far I get.

sponsorship is absolutely not necessary, I'm doing this as a personal challenge as I actually ran the London Marathon when I was 35 and I probably weigh less now than I did then so it's a celebration of my weight loss so far.

GET GUESSING!!!!
