I took part in a 10km race around Victoria Park yesterday ( Sunday 16th of Oct ). In total there were 32,000 runners spread across 3 parks, namely Hyde Park, Victoria Park and Battersea Park.
Here is the video of me crossing the finished line.
When watching the video, I'm the guy who you see sprinting across the line around the 9-10 second mark of the video. I just passed 4 people ( 3 men and one women who is directly behind me when I cross the line ) to cross the line in a time of 52 minutes and 28 seconds.

Out of the 32,000 people that took part, I came 7198, which makes it the first quarter. My plan was to finish in under an hour, so I am very pleased with the result. There is still room for improvement so I will be working on that over the coming months.
Tomorrow I am sending off the entry form for the London Marathon, which will be held on April 23rd 2006, but plan to run in at least 1 half marathon in Jan/Feb in preparation for the London Marathon.
Just so you know what I have been doing with most of my spare time recently.
