The British 10K London Fun Run.

How the years fly by.... It seems like only a few months ago Kathryn and I were taking part in this fun run, but it was in fact a year ago!

Despite cold weather and even a bit of rain last year (Never! Rain in England in June!) we really enjoyed this run, so we are really looking forward to doing it again this year.  I have a sneaky suspicion this is also because after we had finished our run last year we attended the Marie Curie After Party hosted in a nearby hotel for all their charity runners. I have never lost and put on weight so quickly!  I defiantly lost quite a few pounds during the race, but sadly put back double very quickly enjoying the buffet.

We are supporting the same charity again this year, one as you may know by now is close to our hearts, Marie Curie Cancer Care, the Daffodil Team!  It is a super cause and they are a very well organised charity who really do all they can to make if ‘fun for fundraisers’.  The bright yellow daffodil vests are designed so you can write your name on the front and back and then all the daffodil supporters along the route are able to shout out your name and really encourage and spur you on to the end...  

I am still not entirely convinced about running along with daffodil antennae on my head, so I may be telling Kathryn they are too tight again this year! Either my age or vanity preventing me or both! Unless someone offers me a significant charity donation to wear them for the entire race?!

If you would like to sponsor us for this race please do so through this page. 

If you would like to come and support us that would be wonderful, and we will do our best to sneak you into the Daffodil After Party Sssssshhhhhhh!
