Have just picked up my t-shirt, pink laces and startnumber at Park Lepelenburg.  Now all I have to do is run the 10k this evening to get the rather attractive bling they've promised at the end...

83 min

Start 18.00

Clock time 65 minutes.  It was warmer than I thought and although I tried to up my speed now and then there really wasn't much more to be upped.  Never mind, it was a good run.  Lots of enthusiastic cheerers on and a good route through the old town and along the various canals. 

Weather was more or less perfect though I'd almost always prefer it to be slightly cooler.  But the rain held off until I was home - it's just started pouring now that I'm here.  Stayed for the award ceremony (after cheering in the last runners) and then jigged the last wee bit home. 

 The bling is Very Nice Indeed.  And since I've helped the Helen Dowling Institute in the past by volunteering to take part in their post-op questionnaire things after my own breast cancer episode I feel I've doubly earned it somehow.
