After lunch with Dom at work we both fancy a challenge this year and have decided to set ourselves a challenge before Dom's second child arrives in May and life's over!
I did manage the Yorkshire 3 peaks a number of years ago in a time of 11 hours 50 minutes but had to run in the last mile or so and always thought that i could do it a bit quicker. Dom also fancies a walking challenge.
Not saying that I could do with loosing a bit of weight but the extra blocks of cheese over Xmas mean that I am feeling - well sluggish. Dom's well into detox and beer and crisps in Jan are off the menu.
There we go then our challenge is set to walk the Yorkshire Peaks in 11 hours and my challenge is also to loose half a stone in the doing.
