The Running Man
The North Face Endurance 50
50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days
Most people get up, drink their coffee, put on their work clothes, jump in their car and begin the daily grind. Dean Karnazes is a little different. For the next 50 days, he will get up, eat around 1,000 calories for breakfast, put on his running shoes, and run a marathon—every single day and his goal is to run 50 marathons in 50 consecutive days in all 50 states. The daily grind takes on new meaning with this guy.
Sponsored by The North Face, Karnazes plans to add the Endurance 50 to his already bulging resume of crazy running achievements, including winning the grueling Badwater Ultramarathon, and running 350 miles nonstop. A bit crazy? Definitely. But at least he’s passionate.

Vodafone Cricket
Vodafone and Surrey County Cricket manned this cricket skills set up in Kingston. My kids were drawn to it like a magnet and hence me as well. Had to suppress my competitive dad tendancies and let the girls do their best! They won a ball (worth around 1p) that they treasured all the way home - its the simple things.
Best part was the ball throwing power competition (you throw a ball against a padded screen and are given a power rating) - I managed to sneek on and beat an 8 year old - sadly only just.
Not as cool as the Electronic Proms but at 9.00 on a Saturday morning in Kingston it was better than shopping.
