At our 'reunion' on Sunday all of the people there suggested they would give up another weekend to help me on another fundraising adventure. While it's wonderful to have that level of friendship and respect - especially from those helpers who were complete strangers four months ago. I'm completely humbled by all that but ...
"Oh shit ..." I thought, "what have I started."
Well I thoroughly enjoyed myself that weekend so I probably will do some other fundraising run BUT NOT UNTIL 2011 AT THE EARLIEST.
There are four reasons for giving it a two year rest (minimum):
(1) it would be unreasonable to ask for the same level of donations and support every year
(2) I need to consider other ultra races I may be interested in
(3) I firmly believe that to raise money for charity by 'doing something' you have to be 'out of your comfort zone'. This means it could take a while to decide exactly what to do, and then there's all the planning and organising (and that's worse than the training ...)
(4) I need a twelve month break from all that stuff
In the meantime if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
