As promised, here’s my video diary from Hemel Hempstead last Sunday.
It’s what I would call an ‘honest’ account!

Reading half-marathon
I ran the half-marathon at Reading a couple of Sundays ago. Here’s my honest account of the day.It will be interesting to compare this with how I get on in the 20-mile London Marathon training run this coming Sunday in Hemel Hempsted.
Wish me luck!

Samsung Product Gala Dinner
On February 28th Samsung Mobile hosted a Gala Dinner at a packed-out Bluebird restaurant. The evening was a great success, with the live auction and raffle helping us raise over £30,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. If you weren’t there in person, don’t worry, we’ve managed to capture all the action on video!

miCoach and My Cause
On Thursday, 28th February, Samsung held a Fun Run round Battersea Park in support of our fundraising efforts for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. We also showcased the Samsung miCoach phone for the first time.
I’ve been using mine and have found it really motivating - next best thing to having Kathryn Freeland running beside me.I ran the 5km Fun Run in 25 minutes, which I was pretty pleased with as my ankles had been playing up a bit. As you can see, I was competing with some colourful characters!
Later that same day, we hosted a Gala Dinner in Chelsea. We packed out the Bluebird restaurant on the Kings Road with over 200 guests, to raise some money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust through a live auction and quality raffle.
The lucky winners walked off with some fantastic prizes, including VIP tickets to see The Eagles, a meet and greet with Man U star Rio Ferdinand, and a once-in-a-lifetime chance to play against a Samsung Legends team at Chelsea FC’s Stamford Bridge made up of football legends like Ian Rush, Gianluca Vialli and Graeme Le Saux.
A fantastic £33,640 was raised on the night but there is still time to pledge. All that cash will go towards funding research to help find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis, a cause very close to our hearts at Samsung Mobile.
Now I need to dig deep and focus on the marathon. Maybe I can borrow Paula Radcliffe’s socks now she has pulled out! I am mimicking her ridiculous head movement, but it’s not having a positive effect on my performance.
