Another Manchester Run done…
Myself, Steph, and some of my colleagues from the Foundry completed the Bupa Great Manchester Run yesterday morning. It felt harder than last time (mostly because it was much warmer this year), but we still managed to beat last year’s time. Steph was my drill instructor, forcing me to keep running when I really wanted to walk for a moment at 7k…
I clocked in at 1 hour, 41 seconds. Next year I want to break that hour barrier…
I’d like to thank everyone who sponsored me this year. I’ve raised £311.17 (including Gift Aid) so far for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. It’s not too late to make a contribution: my Justgiving page is still live.
We had a lot of fun, I’d recommend it to anyone.

Neil at work is aged 58 and got round in 57mins so you’ve GOT to do under an hour next year. Well done anyway!

Age really has nothing to do with it - people much younger than Steph and I were barely off Portland St before they were walking. Also, we were right at the back so negotiating the crowd lost us some time (which Steph found rather frustrating).
Still, 57 mins is a good time and I’ll be out to achieve something like that.
