Decide to run to Chablis in aid of children's charities. Looks about 600km on the map. Figure 8 - 10 days should do it. Spend a few hours looking into children's charities. With help from Billie at Swiftclik and neighbour Martin Reith choose following three charities:-
- Helen & Douglas House - local hospices for terminally ill children
- Noah's Ark - London hospice for terminally ill children
- Starlight foundation - granting wishes for terminally ill children
Create a virgin giving page and put a large (emtpy) chablis bottle in the restaurant for donations.
Effect is immediate and dramatic. All of a sudden the magnitude of the task sinks in. Body has not even begun to recover from marathon so I have a few weeks excuses for not training but before too long I need to put some thought to it.

Buy back pack with inbuilt drinks containers and GPS watch. Assistant in shop gives me look reserved for jan 1st new Year resolution joggers when I tell her my plans. I assume she imagines me to be joking.
