Nike 10K I want to pass comment on the fact that PY, my significant other/partner/general love of my life, ran the Nike 10K Run London event yesterday in a time which beat his run last year. I was nearly in tears when he crossed the line - isn't that sad?

The event itself did not seem as well organised as last year. We waited at Wimbledon where there were not enough shuttle buses. The transportation problems lead to a delay at the start and, I imagine, a good number of competitors who didn't make their allotted start time. The atmosphere was not as good as last year either. In Kew Gardens and with half the number of competitors, last year's race seemed more intimate and fun. This year, Richmond Park, was spread out and didn't seem to have the same number of things for those non-runners amongst the throng, to do.

And for those who read this update. Well, I've kept quiet and not reported the fact that I decided I needed a lot more training before putting myself through it. I know I am weak. However, I gave my place to a friend who excelled herself and, therefore, I do not feel bad about not taking part. Maybe next year?
