Advance warning!
Remember almost six months ago I ran the BUPA London 10,000? Well, I received an e-mail today. As the weather conditions for the race were so awful, they are rewarding(?) those who actually showed up and ran the course with the opportunity to register for next year's race before the official registrations start, meaning you would have a guaranteed spot.
You can tell where this is going can't you?
Yes, I've signed up again. So I now officially have a place on the BUPA London 10,000 2009. As a balloted race entrant (rather than gaining a spot through a charity) I have the luxury of choosing to run for any charity I want, or to not run for a charity at all.
I've decided to go for my preferred charity, Amnesty International. So yes, I will be seeking donations again, and yes, you will get sick of me talking about this. But I reckon you've got a good 6 months clear before I start pestering you...
As for times, I was aiming for under an hour last time, and delighted to get 53 minutes. It was a bit daunting being placed in the serious runner's category, but on the time last year I earned it, and this year I'm aiming for 45 minutes. Given I'm close to a 20 minute 5k, this should be well within my capabilities.
