<p>Hello.</p> <p>I am running 2 10km runs in October (one at the start, one at the end) which is effectively a distributed 20km run which is a half marathon*. This makes me awesome.</p> <p><span style="color: #999999;"><strong>Update</strong>: <em>I have completed the first run in 53 minutes 27 seconds which is a personal best.&nbsp; Woop and indeed de-doop.</em></span></p> <p>It is traditional, when running these things, to raise money for charity. Which makes JustGiving a very handy service.</p> <p>This time round I'm raising money for <a title="Aberlour" href="http://www.aberlour.org.uk/aboutus.aspx">Aberlour</a> who are (it says here) "the largest, solely Scottish, children&rsquo;s charity" who provide "help to over 6000 of Scotland&rsquo;s most vulnerable children, young people and their families each year" which makes them very nice people, if you ask me.</p> <p>So now all I need you to do is set aside your worries about cash in the global economic climate and sponsor me a few pennies and make me feel better about humanity. Thanks.</p> <p>Hugs all round.</p> <p>Niall</p> <p><em><span style="color: #999999;">* <strong>update</strong>: apologies - it has been pointed out that 20km is 1.1km shy of a half marathon, but I still think I'm awesome.</span></em></p>
