Sorry, I thought it was last night.
Hope it goes well for you

Well, here goes... it feels odd wearing a number pinned to my front.

Just the matter of a two mile walk there... and a two mile walk back . I knew there was a flaw in the plan somewhere .

*jogs back in clutching a gold medal and a pink draw-string goody-bag*

I'm back . I completed the 5km (3.1 mile) course in 34 minutes 42 seconds which is a tad slower than I had hoped but in my defence the first kilometre took over 8 minutes due to congestion and there were two vicious hills.

I got so bored walking back that I ran the last mile .

Great job, Amy! You must feel terrific!

Yay! Well done Amy!



Now all you've got to do is email me to tell me where to send the cheque to.

That's not *quite* true, Caerwynn. The Great Ant also has to e-mail *me* to tell me where to send the *other* cheque to!

Very well done, Amy!

Here, have a well-earned . After all, there's a few weeks to go before the next .

It's very odd; I don't feel that I've done anything. You'd think something would ache. Perhaps it will hurt tomorrow. I have to keep looking at the finishers' medal to convince myself that it actually happened.

Anyway, I've gained a 5k training course with hills - which will come in handy. I now start training to improve my 5k time by 7 July and to run the extra mile for Sports Relief on 10 July. There's a 5 mile race for the British Heart Foundation on 11th July but I think it's too close to the other events and *next* year I'll qualify for a veteran category so I think I'll wait .

Oh, I'll be sending out emails tomorrow. A big thank you to everyone who sponsored me .

Well done Amy

I've not received an email yet telling me where to send the cheque, just in case you thought you already had.

Me neither!

I didn't get round to sending the emails because I've been very, very busy. I'll do it tomorrow, I promise .

I've sent the emails. Sorry for the delay but I was a very busy ant and then, probably as a result, a very poorly ant.

Sorry to hear that. You've worked very hard - it's probably time to stop and smell the .

Anyway, the Fantasy cheque is in the post.

Cheers!

The cheques have arrived . I'll be banking them on Wednesday and sending the money off to Cancer Research UK. I hope to have raised £65.50 plus the Gift Aid tax money (about £18).

A big Thank You to everyone who supported me.

*looks at the date of the first posting in this thread*



That's not even two months ago! It seems like a lifetime.

I know I sing on behalf of all the Fantasy Footballers when I sing: ' One Amy the Ant, there's only one Amy the Ant '

That's a pretty good sum you have raised there!

Are you going to keep up the now?

*runs in fresh from training*

I am indeed, Caer. I did 30 minutes this morning in an attempt to get it over and done with before it got too hot. It was a good plan let down by the fact that it's already 24 degrees C out there .

Good singing, Ormy . But would we expect any less from an opera star?
