You're doing what...?

"You're doing what...?" are words I have heard a lot lately. Along with words like mental, nutter, insane, crazy... You get the picture. It's all because I have decided to embrace life and stop sitting around regretting not doing stuff. So about 14 months ago I made a decision which has pretty much changed my life and I joined another group of nutters trying to get fit. Since then I have got back into running, made a few new friends, discovered I can do a press up and spent many hours in the shower trying to de-mud myself.

My family thinks I'm insane and I'll grow out of it. I think it's a bit late for that. But one of the best quotes I have ever heard (please let me know if you know who it's by) is "Do something every day which scares you".

What have you done today?

Here's mud in your eye.

Hello World.

I am the Dobster... which is a bit like being a walrus but with smaller tusks. And in 2010 I'm going to be doing some stuff which I thought I'd blog about because someone might be interested.

Most of the stuff will be in my on-going campaign to make myself a little bit thinner and a lot more able to run for a bus without having to use the 'Reserved for red and sweaty people' seats.

I'll be doing this by entering a load of ridiculous races, running around my home town of Nottingham a lot and getting extremely knackered and muddy. In the process I'm hoping to raise some money for the RNLI.

I'll even consider requests for getting involved in ridiculous stuff (if you promise to sponsor me and it won't actually get me killed). So hopefully you will enjoy my whimsical ramblings and possibly even get something out of it.

Signing off for now, but will be back soon with a bit of background to me, my challenges and why I'm going to do them.

Here's mud in your eye.
