Overview

Most people know me by now. But for the new people just starting out. My name is John. I live in Gawsworth, a village outside Macclesfield in Cheshire. Age 41 but now on the slippy slope towards 42.

After successfully completing 2 10km runs this summer, I've decided to train and run in my first ever 1/2 marathon in Wilmslow in March 2008.

Looking forward very much to all the training that lies ahead over the next few months. Got bags of support already from people commenting on my blog and also my friends at Congleton Harriers.

All the up and downs will appear on here as always. Comments are always welcome. They do mean alot to me.

BW

John

GMR 2009 Mission accomplished pt1

Just a very very quick entry to let you all know that it was mission accomplished in Manchester this morning. After all that gone on in the last few months, all the worries, pains and the odd tantrum etc I now have a new PB for a 10k.... 47'36". Sliced just under a minute off last years' time..just dead dead pleased with the run..were moments when I thought I had blown it.... but the clock never lies.

A full race account will come tomorrow, just to tired to do it tonight..going to have a hot bath and watch the race highlights and reflect on the achievement of today....
