I ran in the Great Manchester Run this year. 4th one in a row and this time I ran for NSPCC. So far I have raised £470 which I am very happy with. Thanks to all sponsors!!
I finished in a time of 57 minutes 28 seconds. Under an hour was the main aim but it was slower than last year. About 50 seconds slower than last year but more than 5 minutes slower than the 1st one in 2007 
My excuse this year are blisters!!
It was a busy day for me. As well as the run, I had 2 birthday meals to go to. The first was at lunch just after the run. Chinese buffet so filled up on much needed food 
Great Manchester 150
After the meal I also checked out the Great Manchester 150. If you dont know, the Great Manchester 150 is a special running track on Deansgate in Manchester where top sprinters from around the world run. Usain Bolt ran last year and ran the fastest 150m time ever. This year the main stars were Jessica Ennis and Christine Ohuruogu.
I watched a few races. 110m Mens hurdle. 100m Womans hurdles. 200m womans. Those hurdles are high!!
I saw Jessica Ennis while she did some warm up runs. Her race wasnt for another 30 mins so decided to go home and watch on TV.
The longest race was the 200m mens hurdles. Its a long way to run and different to normal since its a straight track and they dont need to run round a bend. I was not the only one who thought is was far. One of the hurdlers (Andy Grayson) while warming up, said it someone by track – its “f*cking far”. (He did win though)
Thanks for sponsoring!
