I've made a spectacular error in judgement and will be running 60 miles in 30 days to raise life-saving funds for Cancer Research UK. Please donate here:
fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I’m going to run 60 miles in 30 days throughout September to help raise money for Cancer Research UK. Two good reasons to donate: 1. Cancer is happening right...

@CR_UK 59/60. Took a day off for my bday and thought I’d tick a few more miles off. Can a 42 y/o go from couch to half marathon in 4 weeks? Absolutely yes! Should they? Absolutely not! 🤣

@CR_UK 46/60 down. Did a Quorn without the knee going. Getting close to the end now. Should be fine as long as I don’t do anything stupid…😂

@CR_UK 41/60. A much slower pace and had to change route half way through as the bridges were borking the knee, but made it :) Next run I’ll try and find a flatter route!! #dontborktheknee

This important thread shows we’re so far ahead of every other country in the world on Net Zero. So how can it be right that British citizens are now being told to sacrifice even more than others? That's why we've set out a new approach to achieving net zero 👇

@CR_UK 37/60. Aaaaand my knee has given in. The whole run felt uncomfortable and at 3 miles in I had to stop if I want any hope of finishing the 60 this month. Nice bit of drama to the challenge I guess 🥲

@CR_UK 34/60. It seems to be much more motivating to be kicked out of a car at the other end of town then having to run home! 🤣

@CR_UK 30/60 HALF WAY!! I’d like to thank all those that have sponsored me to date, especially to the elderly couple that posted an envelope through my front door. You still have time to donate to a great cause: https://t.co/vT4dSYOV9j

@CR_UK 27/60. To be honest, I’m as surprised as you are that I’m still going. If @Nike @adidas @PUMARunning want to sponsor me, I’m still open to offers 🤣

@CR_UK 22.7/60 now. A few days off and the change in temp helped. I’ll be very happy if I can keep that pace up…although maybe I should focus on my knees surviving and not got ahead of myself 🤣

Thanks to all that voted. Interesting to note that nobody views physical degree show books in isolation anymore and that nearly 40% are digital only.

Hey @DTassoc members and other DT folk, I’m curious…do you and your students still look at printed degree show books or is it all digital now?
