Coventry Godiva 5 miles - 29th December

I love the sun but not when it's in your eyes all the way down the M6 and I was finding difficult to follow the signs out, anyway,after doing a few 'U' turns we arrived in plenty of time.136 entrants took part,after some sort of a pep talk, the race started.  This was one small lap and two large ones, it was quite interesting running through the University and through the park. There was plenty of icy patches but I still enjoyed the five miles being well looked after by Dave on his bike. Many runners waited for us last runners to come in.  Once back in the Harriers club room after a nice cup of tea and yes another mince pie, the atmosphere was great. Everybody was very friendly then I had a nice surprise that I had won the £20 voucher, although there was two of us in the 70+ I came first ,but I  picked up the over 65 so prize I am definitely confused .I loved it and would love to do it again.
We also enjoyed watching the wheelchair racers training around the track. I finished in 68 minutes.
