Last January I had a knee op. Soon after I joked that I could do the Santa Dash now with my bionic knee.....Last night my Brother in law knocks on the door and presents me with a santa suit, sponsorship form and so on.....For use THIS SUNDAY 6th.
So I have 48 hours or so to prepare for a 5k run in Liverpool...I had to give up hockey a few years ago so I haven't run for ages.
HEEEELLLPPP!!!!

I figure if I get to the front for the start...I can get away with a brisk walk and still not finish last!

Or sneak in to the crowd near the end, who's going to shout at Santa.

Well I survived LOL. I won't be going to London in 2012. Much as I wanted to take the 50D with me I decided i had enough ballast already. So I used the wife's Olympus point and shoot so appologies for the quality! 1 K in and the roads were red with some blue blemishes :lol: ![[Linked Image]](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2728/4162726911_fca93353f5.jpg) At the halfway stage I wasn't last! ![[Linked Image]](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2776/4163482780_975d1e4f2e.jpg) I even got a free bottle of water at the end! ![[Linked Image]](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2537/4162718729_fdc2042ee7.jpg) this was my favourate moment though. This little chap was about 5 floors up a tower block. I could see his eyes bulging from ground level. The thought of 7000 Santas must have had some impact! ![[Linked Image]](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2612/4163467804_0acbdf45b5.jpg) Just on a personal note, I know 5k isn't much but this time last year my knee was so bad it would dislocate walking round the shops. I had been forced to give up most of my sports and I haven't run for around 3 years! Getting up and down stairs was always a worry. Having had the surgery in January and now managing to do this I do feel is a little triumph. My knee is solid...Pity about the rest of me :lol:

Big Bravo Zulu to you Brocks. Loved seeing the Blue Nosed Santa's in blue suits in the newspaper pics. It's a matter of principal, brilliant.
