Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Well - I did it!!  I ran my first 10k ever in 79 minutes!  It was a great day for running - dry but not too hot.  There were over 12,000 people running and according to the official website I came 7141th  :-)

You can still sponsor me as this page and the collection is valid until 20th October. 

Thanks for all your great support

Love Angela.

Picture this - back in November 2007 I was out for dinner with 8 friends in Hampton Court catching up and having fun, then someone said that we should all sign up for the 10K Great Capital Run in July!  ....and foolishly 6 of us agreed on the spot!  Truthfully I wasn't sure exactly how far 10k was and when I found out it was over 6 miles I paniced.  I had not done any running at all since at secondary school when we had to do cross country around Chertsey, Surrey once a week.  This was going to be a massive challenge....

But I did start training - once the clocks changed and the weather started to slow improve I began jogging around the block and was soooo proud of myself when I did my first mile without stopping.  I have now done a 5k time trial in Bushy Park, Hampton Court and the most I've ever run is 4.5 miles or just over 7k  :-)

Wish me luck for Sunday 20th and fingers crossed that it will be dry.
