Going for GOLD!

Andy Holden Memorial 5 mile run-  9th July

Back in my first year of running in 2000 I had entered a race at Tipton. I thought I was doing a 5k but had entered the 10k by mistake. Andy Holden came over and asked what is the problem and after I explained he said not to worry as he would come with me and he ran all the way of the 10k and that's was the type of man he was.

So tonight was a lovely 5 mile  tribute run around the field and then off  along the canal over the funny canal bridges with the sun in in full swing. Janet Pugh enjoyed it as well and had a good run. This was a one off race but at the end of the presentation  it was suggested doing this race again. I loved it and would do it again. Jan finished in 1:03:00 and I did 1:04:00

Telford town parkrun - 12th July

A lovely morning for a park run with 271 park runners. I was wondering how my legs were after the Bay challenge but I seemed ok with a good time for me. My time was 37.46

Much Wenlock 7 miles - 13th July
 
I always look forward to this race because it's got some interesting hills. The race started at 11 am and away we went. I seemed to manage the hills quite well without stopping then along a narrow road to Wyke when three lovely sports cars came towards me. A big van was then coming up behind me - he was not going to give way to these cars and there was no way I could get by this lot. It was costing me valuable time because I felt good and was thinking that as I have got over the hard bit I could pound on for a pb . After a couple of minutes the van backed up and let me through. When reaching the water station then on to the Wenlock road I am always tempted to go straight across the fields to my home [FieryFielsds] but then I think no - I must not. Running back down towards Much Wenlock into the town then just another little hill back in to the school field to a great atmosphere with not just the seven milers but the triathlons finishers. I loved it and would do it again my time was 1:36:00 which is a personal best for this race.
