A big thank you to everyone who sponsored me in this mad endeavour - it made it all worthwhile.
Well I got round in 61mins without incident in what turned out to be appalling weather conditions. I can't say it was easy especially the nasty hill half way round and I thought the last kilometer was never going to end. It was worth it as afterwards we set off for a great lunch and a couple of beers in a local hostelry (apparently this is an integral part of the whole event and for which I was fully trained!). I feel I have truly joined the 'dark side' and become hooked on distance running.
I would like to thank Martin Cook, Donna Cook and Kathy Watson whose patience, advice and encouragement throughout my training period before the run made it possible for me to not only attempt the 10k but to actually finish it in a reasonable time.
As you will see from the figure above the total raised reached the target and for those that still may want to give to the charity you definitely still can.
Kind regards
Steve
