14 Sept 2009 - Adidas and Hackney 5k runs: we did it!

Thanks to everyone who ran over the last two weekends in aid of The Big Push! 

Was lovely weather, maybe a bit too hot even!  Looks like we've raised at least £1,500 for Whipps Maternity Unit, so all in all a fantastic result.

And now we all know exactly how unfit we really are (or is that just me!) 

Thanks again everyone!
