At the end of the second week in October it will be the 11th, which is a Sunday. On this particular Sunday (the 11th) over 16,000 runners will descend on Hyde Park to take part in the Royal Parks Half Marathon.  

1/2 will be seasoned half marathoners, a 1/4 will be in fancy dress, and a small minority will be thinking why I am doing this? I haven’t trained and I don’t even like to run because it causes me to chafe.  BUT, the vast majority of runners (seasoned or chafed) will take part with the aim of raising money for one of many worthy causes.

I will be running for the Princes Trust, a charity focused on helping the youth of today tap into their potential and grow their confidence, regardless of background or upbringing! Give what you can, click the link and donate.
