Quiet afternoon down the park?

Some of my friends are taking part in the Cancer Research Race For Life on Saturday 8th July around Regents Park, London. Running for 5km shouldn't be too hard for my friends or the other participants but then, I think London is a city of sprinters, not long-distance runners. Londners get lots of practise; sprinting for the tube just as the doors close; sprinting for that empty seat as you get on; sprinting for last orders at 10:50pm (or have the new licensing laws kicked in?).

I've good reports that my friends have been training hard and preparing well. I'm sure Matt and James, who have both ran the London Marathon, have been giving them lots of good advice.

It's all for charity, so if anyone is feeling generous, you can donate towards my friends fund-raising online. The links I have are for Joanne, Rachel and Sarah.

And for the runners, good luck this weekend!!
