Yes, ladies and gentlemen, your humble narrator is now famous; With a face now known by millions, (or at least everyone who reads the Surrey Guardian) I can hold my head high as I walk the streets, confident that I will receive invites to A-list social events and copious freebies as befits my general splendour.

 The silliest thing is - we were told to look mean for this pic and noone does! Still, I was bearing my teeth for the camera until just before it was taken, when I started laughing. But you can’t tell.

I am the one on the bottom right, feel me roar.

I’ve been ill recently so you’ll have to give me a break on the training which has taken a back seat over the last couple of weeks. I have run a total of about 4 miles so far, and walked much more than that , and done a sum total of around 150 push ups.  Never mind, I have two months, and I am planning a regime of some undisclosed form in the weeks approaching the event.

I’ll keep you posted……
