The Great Capital Run

This week I stupidly signed up for the Great Capital Run in London on 15th July. Its a 10km starting in Hyde Park.

Now I haven't run in a race since senior school when I used to be in the Cross Country Team. Recently I've tried to get back into running, but only run for a mile at a time and not in a particularly quick time. Definitely no where near a 4 minute mile, or no-where even close to Elle Macphersons 4:24 mile.

I shall definitely be doing a training program to increase my stamina, and practice running outside as I tend to run on a running machine at my gym at work.

I'll be going down to London on 13th July for a long weekend to make the trip into something other than running! Hopefully I'll catch a Shakespeare play at the Globe Theatre while I'm there, and catch up with some friends who live down there.

If you'd like to have a guess at how long it will take me to complete the 10km then drop me an email, along with a sponsor. Whoever gets the closest will receive a special prize!!! sam@oaktrees.plus.com Please include in the title 'The Great Capital Run.'
