It's only taken me five years but I'm back with a short blog on some of the bumps in the road and the chance to turn back the clock!

It's been a while since I did one of these properly! Keep an eye out for a 38yo at the Berlin Marathon tomorrow, who should have probably packed it in - number 62152. Worked hard for this one. Fresh off the back of our Philapillar adventure for @mndassoc. Can I beat my 30yo self?

It's been 10 days since Team Phil and Philapillar the Caterpillar hurtled round the streets of the @manchestermarathon. We reached our £10,000 fundraising target for @mndassoc! Phil would have been delighted.

Good morning! Philapillar the Caterpillar has 12 very achy legs. But it was well worth it! We've had an incredible reaction. We knew it was going to be hard but that was even more testing than we had imagined!

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported and donated towards our cause - to find a cure for motor neurone disease. We've almost fundraised £7,000 which is absolutely incredible. Please do donate if you can https://t.co/GnMaxplujD.

The caterpillar is resting up now and hungry as the carb loading begins with three days until our #guinnessworldrecord attempt at the #manchestermarathon.
We're almost at £6k, please donate if you can https://t.co/GnMaxplujD

#teamphil has just hit the £4k mark towards our fundraising target of £10k! Delighted with how that's going. Please do donate to https://t.co/GnMaxplujD if you can spare anything towards the @mndassoc cause for research and hopefully a cure. #shareandcaremnd
22 days to go!

[Marcus Green @Marcus_Green86]

Final #teamphil caterpillar training run done! Thank you #bournemouthbayrun for a great half marathon. Almost 22 miles run in total which is a real confidence boost. And we go onto Manchester!

ITV filming the caterpillar in action last night! So important to have the opportunity to explain to camera the inspiration for #teamphil. There is no cure but there could be if research wasn't so chronically underfunded.

We lost Phil Rossall to motor neurone disease last year. Phil spent his last years dedicated to making a difference and focused on what he could still do. We are taking on two world records in his memory, dressed as a caterpillar, to raise money #teamphil https://t.co/GnMaxplujD

[Marcus Green @Marcus_Green86]

It's less than 4 months until "Philapillar" hurtles around the @Marathon_Mcr in aid of @mndassoc to try and beat the Guinness World Record. In three weeks, Team Phil will be taking Philapillar to Bristol for our next training session. 16 miles in the caterpillar costume!
