Running, what's that all about then?
Some people seem to enjoy it, others will only run for the bus. James May refuses to do it on TV. I think we all want to run away from time to time but pretty much always manage not to.
I started running again this year when the amount I could ride dropped significantly. I have to say I don't enjoy it and if it were not for my work-mate and training partner Andy I probably would rarely get out. Andy has just signed up for the London Marathon next year so has some work to do. I admire him for making that committment and I intend to support him by running together twice a week right through the winter.
Yesterday I joined many others in the Cambridge Science Park Fun Run. The term "fun run" seems like a massive contradiction to me. However, we did have fun. There were lots of people in fancy dress but some taking it deadly serious as they battled it out for the best time. Most importantly, whilst I have not seen the figures I assume we raised a lot of money for Children in Need.
Spare a thought for my boss, who pulled a muscle in his leg in the warm up and then could not take part.
