Walter Todd - raising £ for prostate cancer

Having recently lost my father (Walter Todd) to prostate cancer I felt it was time to ‘do my bit’ and raise money to help fund research into this particular disease and hopefully prevent other families suffering this sad loss.

The charity selected is a Glasgow based research team dedicated to discovering new drugs to treat prostate cancer – all money raised will go directly to this project.

To raise money we have assembled an ‘elite team of non runners’ and will be competing in the Edinburgh relay marathon on the 22nd May 2011.

The team of 4 (now 5 with the late addition of Terry Stout - see below for more info) are: George 'Ducati' Ducat, Alleeeee Taylor, Kirsten Stanger and Linda Todd. The team are a real mixed bag, previous running experience varies greatly and includes:

1) Nil, why run when you can drive? (unless your battery is flat!) - Kirsten

2) Running to get to the bar - Allie

3) T... more

Marathon Success!!

May 23 2011

It’s all over! The Hairy Haggii completed the relay in an amazing 4hrs38mins. All team members emerged relatively unscathed apart from a little sunburn from the unexpected Edinburgh sunshine.

It was an early start as an 'apprehensive' Allie and George set off on foot before 8am for their Shuttle buses to get to the change over points. Linda set off round Holyrood a little after 10 and Kirsten (the flying Orcadian) crossed the line at 14.54pm. Team Toddlers were 560th in their event.

El Tel achieved a fantastic 3hrs 58mins in the Marathon, maintaining 8.5 min miles until mile 18, then 9min miles to the 22mile marker and then he hit the Wall...!

Had great fun being a Toddler (except when it involved running!!) so thanks to all for all your help and encouragement along the way. Allie T Allie T | Monday 23rd May 2011, 22:14
Are there any tickets left for the ceremonial trainer bonfire? I enjoyed it all apart from mile 22-26 (the last 0.2 was done with a cheery grin as the finishing line was in sight). Well done to all. El Tel | Tuesday 24th May 2011, 07:49
As it's a one off......got the T shirt.....bought the pics. Although still think 'sleeping with a beer' pic tells the real story...! El Tel | Tuesday 24th May 2011, 10:22
Aye El Tel . we thought you could have least waited until the Sun night for the beer AFTER the run not before!! Just think what ur time could have been if u hadn't been hungover eh!!!! Allie T | Tuesday 24th May 2011, 10:31
PS To everyone who sponsored El Tel obviously I was just joking in my last comment. Although I think FT wouldnt have worried about him running still half cut eh?? Allie T | Tuesday 24th May 2011, 10:34
Fi’s thoughts on how best to prepare the night before the run....... “what do you mean you’re not drinking, just have a glass of water before bed and you will be fine”...! El Tel | Tuesday 24th May 2011, 11:59
Well done to team toddles. Congratulations! xx Lisa Barclay | Tuesday 24th May 2011, 15:46

Training back on schedule, always a bonus. Fundraising going even better. El Tel | Monday 16th May 2011, 07:39
Bumf states (full & relay): Endurance road race of this distance is serious athletic undertaking, should only be undertaken after appropriate training. We will know soon enough if we have done enough! El Tel | Monday 16th May 2011, 07:41
George and I completed our 8 miles in 1hr 15mins and I can assure you there was a few steep hills between Forfar and Kirkbuddo...6 more sleeps!! The Toddlers | Monday 16th May 2011, 10:35
Stop it NOW! Allie T | Monday 16th May 2011, 12:50
Not to be outdone I also did 8miles. How about the other team members....how did you get on? El Tel | Monday 16th May 2011, 13:55
Training prog getting easier, 5miles yesterday, now on the wind down. Anyone else getting excited?! El Tel | Tuesday 17th May 2011, 07:09
If by excited you mean feeling absolutely petrified Tel then yes Im excited! Allie T | Tuesday 17th May 2011, 09:48

Allie.....just wouldn't know or dare comment on corkage costs....! El Tel | Saturday 21st May 2011, 00:03

Having been non committal for months El Tel signs up to the Toddlers cause....but as Terry 'no mates' couldn’t find a team he has had to sign up for the full 26.2miles alone!!

He's managed a few long runs to date with no adverse effects (unless a rapid acceleration of the effects of alcohol post run counts, photographic evidence will be posted on the web if donations are forthcoming).

Aboot time too El Tel. Now if you need any running tips just give me a call and I will be only too willing to help!! Good on ya though,all for a good cause. Allie x Allie T | Thursday 28th Apr 2011, 07:53
I can’t recall actually signing up, was more along lines of “you didn’t do that run for nothing, here’s a sponsorship form”. Thanks for offer of tips, maybe left it too late to get benefit! El Tel | Thursday 28th Apr 2011, 11:06
That’s the last 20mile training run over, don’t know how the legs will manage another 6.2miles though! El Tel | Sunday 1st May 2011, 14:57
How's everyone's training coming along...clocking up the miles? I'm on hold - foot arch / knee probs from last run, getting better but needs to clear soon..! El Tel | Wednesday 4th May 2011, 21:25
Hey getting in the injury card already El Tel ? Thought that was my line. Allie T | Thursday 5th May 2011, 13:16
It was the best one I could come up with "sorry injured - and I was on for a sub 3hr time..!" El Tel | Friday 6th May 2011, 09:05
Did my 8 miles last night as off to Fort Augustus with team member No4 on Hen weekend and do not invisage much excercise before Monday.But keep up the good work the rest of you.From Captain Todd!! The Toddlers | Friday 6th May 2011, 14:41
First run today since last Sat, lots of creaks from knees, feet and ankles but thats normal..?! Can't keep up with team captain, only 5m v's 8m El Tel | Friday 6th May 2011, 20:15
Yeah, I clocked up my 5 miles too! Boys, seeing as how the girls are away this weekend how about meeting for a race tactics meeting? Pub...??? Allie T | Friday 6th May 2011, 21:07
Allie....Well done on the 5miles. Race tactic discussions in the pub sounds like a great idea, unfortunately I’m in the Betty Ford clinic for a spell, hopefully getting back out in the near future! El Tel | Saturday 7th May 2011, 09:24
Blog is very quiet - is everyone busy training?! Here was me expecting a flurry of comms from Ducati or FT...how wrong I was!? El Tel | Tuesday 10th May 2011, 15:43
I think the rest of the team has been shocked into silence by how many man friends you seem to have El Tel. What a popular lad you are! Allie T | Tuesday 10th May 2011, 21:51
Allie....is this you angling for an introduction to my many man friends...?? El Tel | Wednesday 11th May 2011, 18:31
Thanks but no thanks El Tel, they will all be skint noo after sponsoring you!! Allie T | Wednesday 11th May 2011, 22:00

Do you think we should be concerned about no responses from George on the web? Im scared he's taken a wrong turning somewhere whilst out training!! Has anyone ACTUALLY seen him lately? Allie T | Tuesday 19th Apr 2011, 11:54
I certainly haven't seen him online...! El Tel | Wednesday 20th Apr 2011, 21:31
I heard there was a back end of a cow still wandering round London post marathon on Sunday. Do you think it might be Mr Ducat....??? Allie T | Thursday 21st Apr 2011, 14:58
