It was the Great Manchester Run (2008) last weekend and I ran in it again – second time. I had not done as much training as i wanted so was not expecting to beat my time last year (which was 52 mins 3 secs). I hoped to get under an hour. Training had slipped to just 15 minute runs either in the gym or on the road and also a couple games of football a week.
In the end I finished abit slower than last year with a time of 53 mins 35 seconds. When I crossed over the finish line (after the sprint finish:) ) I looked at the timer and it one said about 42 minutes and another said 1h 1min. Wasnt sure what my time was as its difficult to figure out how long it actually took me to get past the start line.
This year quite a few of my friends ran it and many for their first time. Well done everyone!!! I think everyone enjoyed it (after finishing anyway!) and may do it next year.
If you know me there are some photos on Facebook.
