Someone cheated on my fun run!

I did complete my first fun run a couple of weeks ago. It was 8k [5 miles] which I completed in 52.40 mins, otherwise known as 'not terribly fast'. But look at this revealing picture from the race! I did not realise fun-levitation was allowed! I'm enlisting David Blane as my new trainer.

Here was my original email to my friends, and I'm pleased to say I raised a total of £16! {All from the same person}. I'm sure that is nearly enough bone for a little toe, which makes it all worth it.

Hello chums,
I am doing my first ever 'charidee' (kinda fun) run on Sunday March the 5th 2006. It's only 8k, that's about 5 miles (not £8,000), so why not join me (and my friend)? Or come and laugh at me (and my friend)? Don't really, that'll put me off.

I'm just letting you know to boast really and make you feel ashamed that you're not doing it too. Unless you are. If you like you can sponsor me by giving some money to the Anthony Nolan trust (Bone marrow/ Leukemia) You can simultaneously guess how long you think it will take me, and I will give the closest-guessing winner a prize of something really cool and excellent, like an unwanted xmas present. (Though not a present that you gave me of course, because that was great. [If you didn't give me a present, why not? I love presents]).

To help you guess how long it may take me, I've estimated an hour. I hope I'm wrong because I really don't want to win the prize. I've only trained (jogged round the block) three times so far, but am determined to keep up this pace right up until the race. Unless it rains, or I feel like I can't be bothered any more.

Have I inspired you? Here's a link to the race in case you want to join me. (There's also a 3k run on the same day for lazy people [shame on them]). If you are going to send me money, please give it to me after the race in case I decide to spend it on crisps instead of bone marrow. Or in case I send another email in a week saying, 'ha ha, I was only joking about the running thing, sitting down is far superior'. But if you are going to guess my time, please do that before the race, for obvious reasons.
