SUNDAY 09 OCTOBER UPDATE: Thank you to everyone who has sponsored me - very much appreciated. I managed to get round in 2 hrs 09 minutes and 17 seconds... I was aiming for 2 hours 10... so was quite pleased being my first half marathon. Passing Big Ben as it hit 10am was great, spending like what seemed an eternity running around and around and around Hyde Park...not so! Enjoyed the free biscuits at the end though!

If you are looking at this page and haven't sponsored me... son't worry it is not too late!

Somehow I got roped into this! Training has now started. Apologies if you see me weezing down Knebworth High Street. It takes all my energy to not stop at the Co-op for half price Ben & Jerry's.

I will be running the London Parks Half Marathon on Sunday 09 October. All the monies raised will go to Cancer Research UK. Be great if you can sponsor me, but no pressure to do so.

You can sponsor me in 2 ways:

1) With your money in person!

2) On line at www.justgiving.com/ianthompson76

You get a receipt for option 2 and gift aid is also available.

Thank you in advance.
