Well, I finished the Manchester BUPA 10k in the quite creditable time of 54 minutes 56 seconds.

This despite the fact that:

1. I pulled a calf muscle after 5k which while very frustrating was quite exciting as it's the only thing I've pulled in months

2. My new hip, it seems, was donated by a tortoise

3. While my head still thinks I am in my twenties, my heart reminded me I was in my fifties

Still, I've managed to raise quite a lot so far for The Christie, Euro RSCG PR's chosen charity this year, with lots more money promised which should take it to £1000, so many thanks for your very kind donation.

Warm regards,

Brian

P.S. Donations still welcome from those who haven't given....
