Challenge
At 46 and with worn out knee joints I am frustrated that I could not look to run the London Marathon or a similar event. I have recently been thinking what could I aim to do in a few years for a personal challenge and to raise some money for a worthy charity.
During my holiday I swam in the sea every day for some exercise as our swimming pool was too crowded. I set a route which was about a mile and completed this daily. I wanted to push myself more and I completed a pier to pier swim which was just over 2 miles but with the tide drifts probably a bit longer.
By coincidence I watched a TV film on Friday night where a middle aged guy who was made redundant from a ship building yard decided to swim the English Channel. I have now started to research and realise I would need to work towards this and around my 50 birthday may be a goal to attempt the swim. I would love to hear from anyone who has attempted this?
