The madness

Less than a year from now, I will be crippled in pain after having completed the Three Peaks Challenge. For those of you that know me, you will know I am a complete stranger to exercise, and will probably be very, very surprised that I am undertaking such a feat.

There are a couple of reasons why I'm undertaking this act of madness:
1) Because I've never done anything to test the capability of my body, and I'd like to.
2) I like walking up hills (not sure about mountains).
3) To raise money for a charity that I'm involved in setting up with Scouse, amongst other people.

This blog is a place to talk about all these three things in more detail, and generally detail our trials and tribulations as we train for a crazy 24 hours.

Amanda, who will join me blogging here soon, is joining me. She can actually do mountains, so I think the main reason she's coming is to carry me down the last one ;)
