The British 10k Hyde Park Run - Sunday 6th July 2008. Apart from getting married and then having Luke this was probably the next best thing that has ever happened to me.
Yesterday we woke up at 5.30 am to very dark clouds and it started to pour with rain just after 6.00am. All of us met and left Brockham by coach generously donated by Edward Thomas & Sons at 6.45am yesterday morning. We got to Hyde Park to very changeable weather.
23 lovely people ran their hearts out for both the Surrey & Sussex and the London Air Ambulance. The race started at The Hard Rock Cafe in Piccadilly and finished in Whitehall. We then all met in St James's Park for a picnic and a well earned rest. The coach arrived to take us back to Brockham for Teas on the green where the shone for the rest of the afternoon. A huge amount of cakes had been donated and a large number of supporters turned up to drink tea and eat cakes and strawberries and cream. We raffled the prizes and auctioned the bottle of whisky all donated by Edward Thomas & Sons.
Thank you to everyone who all made it such a very special day including the children who made the superb banners.
