Man it's getting close. 5 weeks til showntime. Training is going well and I seem to be growing leg muscles I didn't know could exist. There's Stan on the left leg-he's a pretty good chap, reliable, motivated and up for a laugh, then there's Julie on the right leg-bit of a pain and keeps causing me grief, but nothing I can't handle.

As time draws near people keep asking me if I am indeed crazy for doing this. Well according to the psychiatrist no, if that answers your question. The other week I heard a brilliant quote which has stuck with me, it was by Sir Ranulph Fiennes the British explorer. When asked if he thought he was extraordinary, he replied "no, I'm just an ordinary person who happens to do extraordinary things". Okay so I'm not climbing mount everest in my birthday suit, but I think my challenge is something that anyone can do if they have the right reason, willpower, balls and of course mental instability to do it.

There seems to be too much focus by people on what I'm doing rather than WHY I'm doing it, so please remember to have a look at my charities, feel the love and go donate some dollar. Trust me You'll feel better for it.

Oh and I've started a new hobby which I'm really excited about.....Waving. Just can't get enough of it and it's sure to come in handy excuse the pun.
