Yes it’s true.. we made it on to national television last weekend when Poppy ran her Sport Relief mile. I managed to record it and have placed it in our video album: Click here to watch - it’s only about 30 seconds or so. We are 22 seconds in to the video – keep your eye out or you’ll miss us!

Poppy has made it to the BBC web site.. check out:

She made it! A total time of 29 minutes and 28 seconds and she ran / walked all the way. I tracked it using my Nike+ / ipod and at Poppy’s pace it’s not 100% accurate, but it’s a good indication anyway. Here’s us at the finish line:

And here is her race breakdown:

Yes, at long last I have got around to editing another video. It’s not that interesting really, but it’s last summer’s footage. Still to edit the Barcelona and Christmas footage from last year too! Check it out on the video album page.

If anyone would like to sponsor Poppy’s 1 mile run on Sunday then you can do it easily online. Just visit:

She is part of Team Shingler. It’s forecast rain for Sunday so it may be without the fairy costume, but we’ll endeavour to do it all the same.
