Running but not from my Debts Challenge

Ok here it goes. I desperately want to
a) be debt free end of 2009
b) be able to finish my training for the LM
c) loose some weight!!
So I have decided to do a running and raising funds for the debts challenge. Basically for every mile I run I need to raise the same in £'s. At the moment I am running approx 30 miles a week, which means I need to raise £30 a week and then end of the month I will put it straight towards a debt. This money can be raised in anyway you want, clicks, bingo winnings, overtime etc etc you get the picture.
So if you fancy joining me in raising some cash, and getting fit at the same time jump in and join me.

What a good idea for a challenge!Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0

So I have been to run club this evening and we ran 4.5 miles. Have just checked the 8 things I listed on ebay yesterday and they are already at £5.60 so going well so far. Would like to raise £100 a month and equal that in mileageI'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....

Gosh I haven't updated this for ages...its been a good month I have run 108 miles and just had a load of bits finish on ebay and grand total is standing at £542.69 :T :T
Having said that there is literally nothing left in my house that I can possibly sell...do have a few of DD's toys to put on. Am also expecting a cheque from a secondhand shop that is selling loads of DD old clothes.
Lets hope February is as good
