Telford 10k race  [the big one]  December 15 

We seemed to be lucky with the weather. As I set out a young lady came to me asking if she could run with me, of course you can was the answer so off we went and we seemed to be ok up to 4 miles then she began to struggle. I did leave her for a while but  I just could not leave her too long because I wanted her to finish the race. When I got to the last half mile I left her as I knew she would finish. I personally really enjoyed the race specially when were running up to the return point as there were so many Wrekin Road Runners calling my name and encouraging me on and on the way back and at the finish the support was fantastic. A big thank you to all the Wrekin Road Runners and I am really pleased with my PB. I am now finishing off my last drop of champagne. I forgot the most important thing, my John rescued me once again as I had a puncture and John saved the day, many thanks to him. My time was 1:20:00
