Basically, i was made to sign up for this Hell Up North by a friend - a 10-12mile run (They won't tell us how long it ACTUALLY is as i think they assume we'll chicken out, rightly so...). The run is in Delamere forest on November 7th 2010.

For those who have visited this gorgeous park in Cheshire, you'll know it's not evenly spread with level concrete and lovely signs that tell us how far we have left to run...!

It's uneven, muddy and we've been advised to make sure we bring our sense of humour on race day - ominous - it's going to be tough! I am running for Diabetes UK. A charity which my Great Aunty Hilda regularly supports, as a Diabetes sufferer herself.

Any donations, tips on how to survive, i mean run well, will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks all,
