    6 months ago a guy from work challenged me (and him) to train for, and run, a 10k. At the time neither of us could run more than 10 minutes without collapsing so it's been a BIG challenge!

    Anyway, the date is looming and we left it until today to sign up so we had plenty of time to wimp out! We'd love to raise a lot of money for Cancer Research UK through this - 1 in 3 of us will get cancer in our lifetime so I feel really strongly about this charity!

    Our sponsorship page is http://www.run10ksponsorme.org/systemagic so please do go and sponsor us, even £1 is enough to make a difference!

    Thanks

    Done!

    Having lost a few close people to cancer over the years this is a pet charity of mine.[smiley=thumbsup.gif]
