Great Manchester Run Completed

Posted: 21st May 2007

Hello all! I ran in the Great Manchester Run yesterday in a time of 48 minutes 56 seconds. Not my best time by a long shot but this can possibly be due to a couple of reasons:BGMC0940.jpeg

  1. I wasn't wearing a watch during the run - so I couldn't pace myself.
  2. I haven't been properly training for the past month.

The latter is partly my fault but this has been due to work being made more stressful by a particular individual and doing repetitive and tedious work that soon becomes void. As a result I think of drinking beer before running when I get home. However it looks like he may be gone soon so I may be able to pick up the pace in training when I've fully recovered in a couple of days.

The next run for me is the Great Capital Run on the 16th (I think) of July in Hyde Park, London, which I will be looking forward to as running a race in London is actually rather pleasant.
