Thanks to Graham Allen for the picture.
16th March: I look around the running track thinking the number thirteen and wondering what I've got myself in for. The pack already feels really heavy!

16th March: Just finished the last lap and running very low on steam, I trudge off the running track to be unloaded by my awaiting friends.

16th March: I land on my bum for a well-deserved sit-down and take on some water while trying to stretch the last three miles out of my screaming legs.

16th March: First video showing the beginning of the three and six mile runs. Look for someone in a red t-shirt and beige shorts walking while being overtaken by everyone to start with. I had decided that I'd walk the first half of each lap, even the first, however keen I was!

16th March: Second video of the end of a lap. You can almost hear the legs going down a gear! I didn't realise how easy it looks - I just stride along, seemingly unaware of the computer hugging my back.

16th March: Final video of one of my end-of-lap sprints which I regretted later on but it was exhilarating!

1st March: I can't decide whether this picture makes the pack look heavy, looking at the size of it, or if it looks light due to my stride and smile. Note the Sport Relief socks!

1st March: Still not looking as exhausted as I felt, about halfway though a walking rest before taking up a jog again.

27th February: The pack with the computer I will be using on the day. In case people wonder why I'm walking around the Heath with a computer, there's a poster to show it is, at least, for a reason.

27th February: Side and front view showing the front of the computer, as proof there is a computer in there somewhere.

27th February: This picture shows what the pack looks like when being worn. I would have put on a smile but it would have been strained!

27th February: I suppose this counts as "equipment". It is a 1980's model right leg. All of the joints and bodywork are in good working order, knee is rather knobbly and the paint is a bit pasty but it works reliably and faithfully. It has been subject to off-road conditions, as you can see from the ankle area, but nothing a good 1980's model can't handle.
(Can't bring myself to upload a high resolution picture)

23rd February: Day one, foolishly wearing a fleece and coat, using my pseudo-computer weight. Note that I'm faster than a camera shutter!

23rd February: Hanna has stitched together a succession of photos into a hilarious Benny Hill-style video. Swallow your mouthful of tea before clicking!
