The 5k in Hyde Park London 2009


I had a great time in London! I got to London with Chris in good time for a big mug of tea,before we headed off to Hyde Park! Meeting all the girls was great! I think we got on so well anyone looking at us would have thought we had known each other for ages!
#BlissTwits
We had not met before, yet we all chatted together easily. Everyone was lovely and so easy to be with. It took quite a while before it was our turn to start the challenge. Then we were off! We passed lots of people who were supporting us and cheering us on. Lots of people taking photos and filming us! ( big smile time!) Lots of music being played live by some great bands. The weather was great! I walked along at a good pace with @Surreyblonde. It was lovely walking along with her and getting to know a bit about her. There were 17,000 ladies taking part! 17,000! Wow! all doing it for lots of different charities, how fantastic is that?
I have already decided that I want to do more for Charities close to my heart and want to do the 5k challenge next year again for Bliss.
After we had all finished (some of the girls ran and were back ages before us!) we sat down in the warm sunshine and had food and some very nice drinks! We chatted, laughed and cried, as we reflected on why we had done the challenge for Bliss.
My prayer is for all the babies and their families that we have helped by doing the challenge that they will have a better chance of survival and living the lives intended for them.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us and sponsored us.
