beginning i've been up since the crack of dawn getting ready. of course today is just about taking part really but on much travels i faced a lot tougher challenges than running 5 k. so today i think i'm going to try and win it even though i haven't really trained much i don't know but i'm not about maybe my competitors haven't as well. a few people have actually been up and running before me they're even doing a little warm up race before the real deal kicks off in less than friendly conditions we are battling the elements we conditions monch wasn't nice it is writing the series of barely on their bodies brought to trial by combat and body parts me maybe trying even without even trying to whip it well that would be fantastic how competitive it is that more thought of a place to owings people at the front that are going to want to wait a not competitive with. a rock draw. people turn up their dogs with

a bug pushing the children in the buggies so it's just about i've been having a good time with your acumen giving up but i'm sure the charges are pretty fair every participant gets a costume one size fits all and i'm having a tough time just getting it on fighting a losing battle with the women. the struggle is real. least i'm not just boiling the unload but most runners here i'm looking to win. so 1st time to run then we should know better. i'm going to just to mikey to the end with all my colleagues from what i would just get a guy for and say maybe half an hour and 25 minutes that would be a major victory and he got on a certain time you want to be or you want to be one of the monkey. on your own tossing it. just tears i have felt that i've got my eyes on the prize front of the q b $0.80. over

450 people let's say king part the 1st half of the race takes a straight into a fierce headwind on the way back the conditions a fall festival i find myself neck and neck with super mario. there's not much left in the tank by the end but it's enough to finish 35th after hundreds of runners mind. i was really exhausting. i'm surprised that kept on. going the way there was so difficult we were facing the wind on the way back it all felt a lot better. to put through so much to do the time to run but there's no wind. no chance of that in brighton i didn't get a win but the 35th isn't bad considering i didn't train any way to the real victory 380-0000 pounds were raised for the local children's hospital next time i visit

brighton i hope it's a tad warmer. you can find mark what's a cast and rolling on our you tube channel. when you think of the alps normally images off hiking are seeing spring to mind but when german photographer stefan his fellow goes there he's looking for something completely different he is fascinated by abandoned buildings so-called lost places his photos cannot save them from dk but at least they can preserve the memory. ruins in deserted places have always held a magical fascination for people. they make us wonder who once lived in them and what happened to them. stephan helpfully explores places like this with his friend felix closer in looks
