Just back from watching the race. Ran most of the way there an' all the way back, cheer me up confidence building type thing, short dist. decent type time/speed all good stuff.

The race was interesting the Pros. at the front, Africans, as usual like polished mahogany flying through the strreets, followed by local good club runners all the way down to people in dangeriously new trainers,Converse AllStars, people having a slow stroll round to the blokes dressed as fully loaded donkeys. Races are funny things, one of the few events where it's ok to stare at people and for people to make a spectical of themself, adult (male) schoolgirl, vicker in a tutu etc. I like watching the runners and comparing, I can do 10km in just under an hour, on a good day. So was facinated to see how fast/well others were doing. I'm sure I'd be in the top half of the field, in fact maybe a bit better thou. I don't think this was the most serious ran. Good news thou. I can do this! There were people going through the 4km mark after an hour (!!) and no one laughed, people walked it was ok no one laughed. I can do this I can get round, just gotta remember not to crusefie myself over it.
