There are things every man should do in life, things like being able to survive in the wild, throw a punch, tell someone you love them and, of course, eat 10,000 calories in 24 hours. I decided that I was best suited to the last of these options and so I embarked on my 10,000…
It’s been another interesting week in the life of Phill. Well, it’s been interesting for me anyway. Monday was great. The Corner House confirmed a booking for a gig on the 23rd March. Some really fantastic people confirmed that they would be playing the gig, so out of nowhere I went from having nothing really…
Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later, my knee was always going to give out on me at some point. I had hoped it would wait until after I had completed my crazy running challenges, but no such luck. On the bright side, I’ve only minorly buggered it. I reckon I’ll be able…
Gosh it’s been a hard week, and I’m not entirely sure that I’ve done a lot. It’s been a bit of an up and down week really. It’s mostly consisted or running, disorganising and cake. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about cake, a little bit of making cake and far too much eating…
A friend of mine offered to donate £10 to the cause if I shaved my head. I thought it was a fantastically stupid idea completely in fitting with what I’m trying to do here. For anyone who doesn’t know me, I already shave my head. I hate having my photo taken. I’d much rather be…

This page contains all my updates prior to the run. For a write up on the run itself, please check out My First Ultramarathon post. — I’ve already committed myself to doing several stupid running challenges, like the Boundary Run marathon and the March March march to help raise some money for charity. Somehow I’ve…
March March March – The Plan The problem with doing a lot of running is that people mistake you for a runner. The main problem with this is that silly runners mistake you for an equally silly runner. They then suggest a great number of extremely stupid runs that you could do. The March March…
So this it, over the last week I’ve finally started taking donations. I haven’t opened the donation tin yet, I’m a bit worried about how little is in there, and also it seems people are quicker to donate to a tin that already has change rattling around in it than one which is empty, so…
Paul Richards really is the least of my problems at the moment. Last night he turned up at my house and performed a show in my living room, because, you know, that’s the sort of thing he does. He’s also rather good at it. The show was called ‘Paul Richards is the least of your…
