Running Commentary: Race for Life. Yeah, right ...

... of course I walked it, but I did make it all the way! Oh, yes I did, and in one piece. So I thought I’d take you on a musical journey through it.

The Start: Walking on Sunshine; at 1km I was Walking in Rhythm; honestly, the best version I could find on youtube, even with those trousers. By 2km it had turned to Walking on Thin Ice; 3km became Walking on Broken Glass; but at 4km I was Walking My Way Back To You (ok, taking liberties with that one and couldn’t even find the Detroit Spinners) maybe should have gone with this instead. 4.5km and in sight of the finish and I’m Walking Back to Happiness!

And guess what – you can still sponsor me up till the 19th July, by clicking on the link right there *points left*. And pray for the day I’m able to upload my own discs ...

The Race for Life: In memory of Christopher.

Today is the anniversary of a very courageous young man, my nephew Christopher, losing his fight against cancer last year. Known as Nelly to his mates - he turned up at school one day sporting a plaster on one cheek - apparently rap artist Nelly used to do that. Sport the plaster that is, not turn up at school. Not that I'm saying Nelly bunked off or anything - I didn't know him as a child. Anyway, the point is, of course, that I'm doing the Race for Life for Christopher. Though when I say 'Race' I am using the term in the loosest possible sense; likely it'll be The Stroll-with-the-possibility-of-breaking-into-a-slight-jog for Life. Or a Shimmy for Life, if I remember to borrow an I-Pod. If you'd like to donate, all you have to do is click that race for Life button just there on the left.
