I've set myself the biggest physical challenge of my life! I'm going to Swim the Channel! OK, I'm not putting on the goose grease and going to Dover but I am attempting to swim the 22 miles in my swimming pool in Crediton, Devon!
It's for a charity called ASPIRE who work for people with Spinal Injuries so it's for a good cause. I also need to do something to help me get fit. When I was last weighed at the Doctors I was 16 stone! I really need to lose some of that weight!
The pool at Crediton is small so 22 miles means I only have to 1408 lengths!!! As I am far from fit I plan to do this sensibly over approx. 10 weeks (the challenge lasts for 12 weeks between Sept 11th and Dec 3rd).
So let me know if you are doing the Swim or if you have any helpful tips, or words of encouragement! If you are interested I'll keep you posted on my progress through Y!A

That sounds great! I'd like to do that sometime.
Call me a fool. How much is a stone?
Good luck with this great challenge!
