The deed is done. I finished my run in just over 48 minutes - a satisfactory result, if not particularly marvellous. The weather at Hampton Court was sunny and warm at the start, and as the glucose burns, it gradually felt hotter. At the finish, sweat was streaming down my face like those “fat” raindrops in Matrix Revolutions (you’d know if you’d watched the DVD extras). Despite all that, I’m happy to report that I ran all the way, only breaking inito a walk for the mid-course drink of water, as I have never quite mastered the art of drinking while running, at least not without spilling half of it and choking on the rest.

Thanks to all who’s pledged donations and especially those who’s already paid up. The sponsorship is still open, so you’ve still got a chance to top up your good karma before too late!
