Help me out?

Alaina, will you take over the 10k race that I'm doing in Brighton on the 16th of November for me>? I want to go and see Jamelia perform at Nightingales on Saturday night. This is so unfair. She'll be AMAZING I'm sure, and I have to go running. Urgghhhh. And since I'm running I have to train too - it's cold and cold and cold. Plus, I have to run FAST. Darn.
Everyone else will go and tell me it was great. At least it'll be great. But it will be great without me...
