Running noses

[j4]

Regular readers may remember that a while ago I asked for a route round all Oxford's Colleges.

In the end, some of my colleagues came up with a fairly plausible route. It's 8.36 miles, and on the morning of Friday 13th March, I will be running this route (along with said colleagues) to raise money for Comic Relief.

You can see where this is going, can't you?[*] Yes, I'm badgering asking you if you'd consider sponsoring me, either via my personal fundraising page, the team's group fundraising page, or by some other means if you prefer.

[ETA: Or you could sponsor my colleague Barry, who doesn't have many sponsors yet & as a result is feeling a bit unloved. The money all goes to the same place! And he's literally twice my age and taught me all I know about running!]

I've never run as far as this before, and I'm almost certainly going to be hampered by wearing silly clothes (the exact level of silliness is yet to be decided; if you sponsor me, you get to see the embarrassing photos afterwards); I'm determined to get all the way round even if I have to walk bits of it, but I'll be even more motivated to do it if I know I'm raising loadsamoney for a good cause.

Thank you!

[*] In fact, by the magic of GPS-enabled mobile devices, you will even be able to see where we're going live on the web as we run. More about this nearer the time...

That red nosed badger is worth the sponsorship money alone.

However, I am most interested in this live-on-the-web business, because you will be running right past my workplace! I can come outside and give you a cheer as you pass St Hugh's.

That would be awesome if you could cheer as we go past! Preferably waving big red cheerleader pompoms. :-)

I promise I will pimp the live-on-the-web stuff properly nearer the time when we've got the GPS stuff working properly.
