How would you like to tackle a half-marathon every day of this month?
That's the task Ross Millar, form Currie, has set himself - and he's doing it to raise cash for MND Scotland, inspired by Rugby legend Doddie Weir.
MND Scotland is the only Scottish charity providing care and support to people affected by Motor Neurone Disease (MND), as well as funding research to take us a step closer to a cure.
It's Ross' third year of running every day in December - including Christmas Day. This year, he decided he'd take on the challenge of running a marathon every

Speaking to Forth News Ross said: "Every year there's a thing called the Marcathon, which is a challenge for people to run a 5k in December. This is the third year I've decided to do ultra-Marcathon, which is a half marathon every day, in December."
"I decided this year that I would do it for a charity and I've been inspired by Kevin Sinfield, who's been doing a lot of fundraising for MND, down in England. So I'm doing it for MND, Scotland, and obviously following the sad passing of Doddie Weir as well."
Ross has been out every day in December, braving the freezing conditions.
He tells us: "I don't mind the cold. I'd rather run in the cold weather. The icy conditions underfoot aren't great some days, I do tend to try and jump on the road if I can do, with my hi-vis obviously, just to make sure that I'm safe."
