Yes, the picture to the left is 'before'.....you'll have to wait for the 'after' shots!

 

The most important thing is that with the tremendous support of everyone who made pledges on this page and offline, I completed the 13.1 miles in a time of 1hr 48mins.  Four minutes better than last year so I guess that's progress!

 

It was - as it always is - a tremedous day, pretty perfect running conditions and a well organised event.  Thanks especially to the Alzheimer's team who provided much needed tea and sugar rush at the end in the charity village!

 

Sincere thanks to all of you who pledged:  it really does make a difference to the day to know that the running has a serious purpose and you have all given it one.  

 

For those who wanted to see if I'd finish before pledging, there is still time.  Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Alzheimer's Society will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Until next year......
