I’m off to Japan this weekend.  Look out for my photos @ Flickr.  They’ll be amazing.

Last week I was lucky enough to take part in the JP Morgan Chase Corporate Challenge.  It was amazing, running around Battersea Park with tons of encouragement from all the staff was a real test for me and I did it in just under 40 mins.

There had been talk of us pulling out and I was really surprised that despite earlier being worried about it (I felt a bit rough that morning and then fell over running for a train), to say no… we’re not off to the pub… we must do atleast get to the event!

One of the problems with London is the transport.  As soon as it rains, the trains have pains.  And stop.  We tried looking for cabs, buses and the tube.  Sadly they were all failing until we moved further away from the busy area of Holborn and managed to get on a bus to Waterloo.

At this point I was dying for the loo.  That’s the toilet, if you’re not familiar with the English slang.

We got to the event, relieved ourselves of excess fluids and proceeded to do the run in more fluids and mud.  It was fantastic!  And to add to it all, I didn’t come last.  Which is a first for me… and I had some great encouragement from fellow runners.

After a final sprint to the end and a nice queue for our bags.  Thankfully by then it had stopped raining.

What next then?  Well I’m trying to keep doing the odd bit of training here and there and I’ll be off to Japan as of this Friday, which I’ll try and blog and flickr every moment of with the aid of my iPhone!

Great week so far… and now I’m off on the train up to Newcastle to visit some of my friends I went to uni with.  Oh and if you’ve never seen the West Wing, you really should check it out.  It’s truely awesome.

So, I went and took part in a great event on the Sunday organised for the Hide and Seek ‘08 festival.  When I first saw about the event I thought… great, I’m going to get chased and wet by some 16 year old with a supersoaker.

Fortunately it was nothing like that.  ‘And I saw..‘ was an event where you go around the South Bank and search for stickers with number on.  It’s probably the only time that people could look at a girl’s chest and say, “Can I have your number?”  I only said it twice.

I went around with PHP Developer, Jo Carter of Pod 1 fame.  Who, by no surprise to me… won.  She spotted 60 stickers and texted them all.  Not bad considering we started at lunchtime and finished 6 hours later.

If anyone hears about the festival next year, I recommend you check it out.  It’s really a fantastic event to take part in.
