I did it in 31 mins last year, I want to beat that this time..PLUS Ive signed up with one of the fittest women who goes to the same gym as me, which was a little silly..lol. She runs for miles without breaking a sweat! So anyway, wish us all good luck please. Here's the website if you want to have a look. (www.raceforlife.org)

And by the way, I'd like to go on and on about how beautiful you are, how fit and athletic you look, but I can't as I am happily married and me doing that would be viewed as inapporpriate. I guess however, you could tell Mr. bloona that several guys back in the US think he's a very lucky man.

All the money raised by our participants helps fund the crucial work of Cancer Research UK – the world’s leading independent organisation dedicated to cancer research. So far, over two million women of all ages have run, walked or jogged to raise over £140 million in sponsorship for the charity. This year we hope to raise £60 million for our life-saving work by bringing an amazing 800,000 women together to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
