This is an event which Kitten and Boogle, Sushi, Saucy Sue and Banana had planned to do since January and this being before any awareness of my illness.
Unfortunately Saucy Sue and her daughter "Banana" had to pull out. Our thoughts are with them as they have been having a difficult time of late.
So it was off to Epsom Downs on a beautiful but ferociously hot day. The 5K event can be run, jogged or walked and our super fit bunnies were walking. They did a marvellous job of raising a substantial amount for Cancer Research UK. I am not sure what the final total is but I believe it to be in the region between 800 and 900 pounds.
Well done girls.
In the spirit of anonimity and of the blog here is a picture taken after the event. I can assure you that in real life the participant's head is well and truly on their shoulders.
Unbelievably, considering today's heat, a couple of wags did the course in pantomime horse costume.
Apart from being there to cheer on the girls, my best moment was catching Notoplip in a moment of concentration. Whilst leaning down over the pushchair tending to his youngest the first of the runners were coming up the finishing straight. So I said, "quick, look. Here comes Paula Radcliffe". He stood up quickly and said "Where, where", before realising that I had caught him off-guard. A cracker. Needless to say that he got me back later when we were on our way to watch the England v Germany game.
