Another Half-M

[bluespirit]

Registration opened yesterday morning at 9am for the Royal Parks Half Marathon in London this October.
After three & a half hours of frustration & the site constantly crashing due to the huge numbers trying to get a place, I was finally able to get places for me & Mr B!
We decided to run this race as all our attempts at getting places in the London Marathon have so far failed & we really liked the idea of doing a 'big' race like this around the gorgeous sights of London.
The route starts in Hyde Park & goes past the Houses of Parliament, along the Embankment up to Blackfriars, through Admirality Arch, down the Mall, past Buckingham Palace & through the Wellington Arch, back into Hyde Park past Marble Arch, into Kensington Park, past Kensington Palace & the Royal Albert Hall before finishing back in Hyde Park. It sounds amazing & should be loads of fun!

We're hoping to run this race to raise money for Labrador Rescue South East & Central - the rescue organisation we got our beautiful Buddy from! ♥

That sounds like a neat run! Although isn't the air quality in London pretty bad? I should think that would make running difficult, if so.

That picture just begs for a funny caption, too bad I can't come up with one.

I'm going to start converting your fic for Kindle (apparently you gave permission previously?) and was wondering: is the McShep memories on Starshinedreams all of your McShep fics? Or should I use the tags instead?

The air quality in London isn't too bad - for a big city anyway. I mean it's not smog or anything like that. But the great thing with this route is that it goes through four royal parks - Kensington, Hyde, Green & St. James's! Cool!

Oh, yay - you're doing my fics? Thank you so much.
*hugs*
I have tried to put all the fics in memories, so in theory the memories should match up with the mckay/sheppard tag. Um, in theory. *g*
I don't know if you're doing my little Hewligan series as well? That has it's own tag - http://community.livejournal.com/starshinedreams/tag/fates+universe (just in case you are. *g*)

I adore this pic of Bud - Xanthe took it when she was staying with us not long after we'd had Bud & he's lying against me on the floor. He looks so daft! ♥

Bud=such a sweetie!

Yep, I plan to convert all your stuff, but I'm gonna start with the McShep stuff first, since I don't think we have any SGA fic posted on the comm yet.

Do you have a Kindle? I just got one and dang, it is just the neatest thing! Kind of an expensive toy, but very, very cool.

Oh, you're a star - thank you! ♥

I don't have a Kindle but I do have a BeBook which is a similar kind of thing I believe. It's so much easier to read than my old PDA - it actually looks like a printed page. :-)
