Good morning Cardiff!

Today the girls running 165 miles from London to Cardiff (follow @LondontoCardiff) will be running into the city as the final leg of the race. We've got a report coming soon from the group so watch the blog today.

We'll also be bringing you a report from the Wales Blog Awards 2010 which took place last night.

As part of National Chocolate Week, a 12ft Eiffel Tower of chocolate will be unveiled today outside Thorntons in St David's Shopping Centre. Keith Hurdling, Thorntons Master Chocolatier, said:

"We have travelled Europe to bring back the best flavours that it has to offer, and we've used them as the inspiration for our chocolates to give our customers that little taste of European luxury."
