After running a bit of it last weekend, I have decided to attempt to run the whole London Capital Ring this weekend. Dressed as Santa.

It's a 126km circuit of London following lots of the green bits. Starting and finishing in Richmond at the Tide Tables cafe, my target is to do about 2/3 of it on Saturday with the remainder on Sunday.

I thought it would be a good time to do it and a nice opportunity to raise some money for a good charity just before Christmas.

Also, a big thank you and good luck to my friend and Sister's partner, James, who is running his first 20km this weekend and has decided he'd like to join forces on this page and raise for the same cause. James has gone from his first 5km four weeks ago to 20km this Saturday which is an astonishing feat. All the best and thanks to everyone who have found their way here via him, too, for the donations. 

Check out Young Minds if you're interested. They provide support to lots of young people with their mental health when they need it. I feel like now is an especially important time to support charities like this ahead of the tsunami of mental health struggles they are anticipating in the upcoming year.
