My personal message:

Hello,

I completed the Herts 10k yesterday, in lovely mild and dry conditions.  The official race times are not yet up on the site, but my Nike IPod, which I switched on/off as I ran through the start/finish line timed me at 1hr 2 mins,35secs.  This is my personal best todate.  I hope to improve on this, my faster kilometer was 5.31 mins,so with a bit more effort on hills, I hope to move closer to breaking 1hr over the next year.

Sean did the race in 56 mins (timed on his Nike Ipod), which is a personal best for him also.

I was definately spurred on by your support, especially on the final ,slightly uphill, 500 meters to the finish line!

Thank you very much for your support.  I have collected £500.00 online and offline combined, which I am quite pleased with since I only started collecting 2 weeks prior to the event.. The Online funds have already been transferred to The Grove Hospice, and I will be passing through all the offline funds this week, and after that as they come in.

For those of you who did not get the chance to donate before the race, please note that this page will remain open until 14th December 2007.
