Swimathon

I've just let myself be talked into joining a work team for the Swimathon team 5k.  I don't usually do charity events but this has all the characteristics of classic Munky training drivers: an actual challenge, an immovable and close deadline, and the fear of public humiliation if I bork it. 

Up to five team members, at least 1k each.  Well, the Plan has me up to that sort of distance by then, so why the hell not? 

Oh, bloody hell.

I think it's great, and nervous energy can be so helpful when harnessed! Best of luck to you in this. :)

I'll chuck 30 quid to whichever charity you're doing for if you do the distance.

Hopefully more motivation / pressure (it worked for my half marathons).

Nuts, now I can't back out of it! Your generosity is most appreciated.
