I’ve done some pretty mad stuff in my time but on Saturday 28th this once morbidly fat, now overweight, mad man is going to be hurtling down a zip line 500ft above a quarry in North Wales.
Yes, challenge one, the zip line is here and i’ll be joined by five mad people who actually want to be doing this.
Myself, I’m sh*ting bricks if the truth be told. Why? I’m super scared of heights. Good thing Mr Pace taught me how to control my breathing……
It’s all for two amazing causes. This is the first of four mad things I’m doing this year – please feel free to sponsor me and help me do some good.
As an overall update, I’m still losing weight, I’m much fitter than I was on January 1st 2026 and things are going in the right direction.
I should hit 50KG weight lost in March and I should have my 6 minute mile pace in my legs around June time.
It seems to me that every bit of news these days is bad. Maybe we’ve forgotten just how wonderful our country is, just how wonderful the people in it are, and our capacity for being a bit mad.
A few months ago I was morbidly obese. Today I’m just obese. But next year I plan on being fit, toned and healthy. Like all good sales people I need a target. I need to be challenged and I need a real reason to get my fat backside out there and train. The second half of 2025 has been consumed with losing weight. The year of 2026 will be consumed with training, scaring myself half to death, and getting fit again.
Can a 54 year old really go from 23 1/2 stone to running a six minute mile within a year?
Let’s find out!!
I’ll do everything I can to make sure he does. If you could find it in yourself to sponsor me, or join me on my quest, then it’s all for two amazing charities….
