The Walker With Heart

I've been asked a question... From a mate at work... They've been thinking about doing a direct debit donation to a charity and were just curious on my views on what sort of charity to give to... In the interests of fairness, to them, I should point out that they've got personal interest in a number areas other than this crazy dicky ticker world of mine - so I wasn't going to give them any of the details for Children's Heart Federation... Unless they asked;-) Which they didn't, but they have supported me in the past... So, how would I decide... 1) Check it's a charity... If it brings in more that £5000 a year they should have a charity number, and you should be able to find them on the charity commission website (of which more later)...

So a bit of explanation... I'm happy to be out there and running, I was running to try out new things and for the first time in a month... No stress, no pressure, hell I only entered the race on Monday... All I had to do was get around, I kept to my variant of a walk/run routine - 1min walk/4 min run and kept it going for 10k. I was trying out some off road shoes, they worked... I was trying out running with my new day sack (there is a reason, if I want to run over bits of the peak district I'll need a few more bits than my running pack with take) that worked... It was the first test of the new skin on my feet, that worked:-D So why did coming last not bother me... Well, first I'm 25 ye...
