Dear all,

I managed the 10k run today, despite looking lustfully at the 5k option as I staggered on...

A bzillion thank yous to those who have or are about to sponsor me.  According to the over-excited event organiser, today's event alone will raise at least £400,000 for cancer research.  It was an amazing run; everyone was running for someone and all for a common cause, so it was a bit emotional. 

I shall try to upload a picture of me running so you believe I did it, although the pictures are a bit small so it could be anyone.  I do have the medal though, along with a blister and a sore toe.  So there you go.

For those of you thinking of sponsoring me now, I should point out that although 10k isn't that far, I am deeply unsporty, so it wasn't a walk in the park (more like a jog to the sound of deep breathing in the manner of a dodgy phone call made by an asthma sufferer).  I did it primarily for my mummy who has beaten breast cancer twice, but also for all of your friends and relatives who have suffered from cancer. 

If you can afford to give a little bit to help support the amazing work that Cancer Research do, it will be hugely appreciated, fairly well-earned and very well-used.
