Writer's Blog

Hello again.

I meant to update sooner but had a few problems with this blog. About this time last week, I tried to visit the blog so that I could write another post, only to find that the entire blog had been deleted because of "unsuitable content." I have absolutely idea what was meant by that because I cannot for the life of me recall uploading anything to the site that wasn't a long ramble about my training activities. I suspect that somebody might have attempted to hack in and upload something pornographic, but I haven't seen any evidence of this. Very strange.

Anyway, to restore my blog to its former glory and get it back on the Interweb again, I had to follow a series of complex procedures and reset my password at least twice. Due to a complete and utter lack of imagination, I was going to choose "penis" as my password, but a message popped up saying "Sorry, your password isn't long enough." So I changed my password to something more suitable, but then just half an hour ago, when I was logging on to the blog, I couldn't remember what it was that I had changed my password to. As a result, I had to go through another elaborate and protracted process to change my password again and regain access to my blog. Now that I have got back into my blog, I've forgotten exactly what it was that I meant to write.

The main topics were along these lines:
1) I have begun touting for sponsorship and have raised nearly £300 now, with a little help from my friends, colleagues, cousins and an uncle. Thank you to everybody who has donated so far. If you would like to sponsor me, you may do so here: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/martinpampel 
Any donation will be gratefully accepted, no matter how small.

2) I haven't come up with an idea yet for a fundraising event to supplement the sponsorship forms/online sponsorship page. I have been meaning to organise some sort of quiz night but haven't made any real effort to get this off the ground. Quite frankly, it's hard enough finding the time and energy to run several miles, but I will get round to doing it. I just need some encouragement and a few friends to also give a couple of hours of their time to help me out with it.

3) My training is going very well so far (famous last words!) and I ran twenty miles at the weekend. I am being careful not to overdo the exercise.

4) I think that's it.
