• Heroes Run Brigton, 16/05/10, 'Super 5k'

Favourite event: Heroes Run, a fun mixed ability run and a nice family day out.
Medical 'self assessment': "Code blue, we're losing him!"
So why do you run?:
When I look in the sweet smiling face of my little girl ... I know she's going to do something naughty and/or run away so i need to train to keep up with her.
More seriously I wanted to get out and start moving, get the blood pumping and get healither so my little girl has a daddy who no only is faster, but who will hopefully be around longer too.  It also lets me provide some support for charity, to relieve my 'private sector guilt'.
Running also gives me some time to either switch off my brain for a while and watch the scenery go by, or sometimes to think through a few things in peace.
