The first stage of my amazing two-for-one sponsorship offer was completed on Sunday morning, in sweltering heat, when I finished the British 10k in 51:10, 4 minutes outside my target time and 2:30 outside my previous best.
Rather disappointing I have to admit, but then I'm not as young as I was, and it was bloody hot.  I am planning to do better on the second leg: 5k around Regent's Park for the first ever Anthony Nolan Royal Romp on 22nd August when my target time will be 22 minutes.
All in aid of the fantastic work of Anthony Nolan which has saved a record number of lives this year, but still needs more money so it can save even more.  So if you can spare a few quid, please do sponsor me and support this excellent cause.  Many thanks.
