Frimley Hospital 10km

This is the big one that we have been training for. 7 of us had signed up Me, James, Leanne, Tony, Tony D, Louise P & Stephen W. Myself and James & Leanne raised over £500 for the baby unit at Frimley Hospital a worthy cause.

Was a great day and the whole family travelled to see us around the course. James and i had a plan to run under 55mins and we sent of a 8:30 a mile pace. The course had afew hills but was for the most part flat. By half way things where going to plan James and i pacing each other perfectly. Felt strong in the 2nd half of the race and James was on my shoulder of the last mile we came in to the last 200 metres and we raced to the line and finnished in a amazing time of 53:27. Really great day

My 61th Park Run

Old Deer Park

Something a bit diffrent this week.Frimley Park Run was pushed back to the bank holiday monday because of a event taking place. Myself and a few Frimley runners decided to take advantage and run at another local park run. After much debade we decided on Old Deer Park near Richmond. The primary reason was because there is a average of only 35 runners attend the event so we where looking for decent positions.

The course was 3 laps round a big field. A pleasent course but i felt a bit dull. Did a time of 25:17 and came in 21st out of 38 runners. Was a fun morning with 10 of us having a nice chat and coffee in a local cafe afterwards. Back to Frimley monday
