Did my local Stockport 10 road race yesterday. It was cold and very icy and my teeth were chattering on the start line in vest and shorts, I soon warmed up ! Id not done a long run for ages so me and my pal decided to drag each other round. It became apparent half way that my stamina work with Shaun is paying off ,as I was the one doing the dragging.
The last mile is all uphill and she was really stuggling and telling me to go on. I decided to stick with her and we ran over the line together in 1.18.01 (my watch). As I bent over to catch my breath she was given a spot prize and won a jacket ! Did she give me the jacket to say thanks for all my encouragment and assistance ? No she didnt - the witch !
I really like this race. Its got three decent hills in it and the marshalls are all really nice. I got a nice log sleeved more miles t-shirt and a goody bag, which. amongst other things contained a dog biscuit (woof) and some dried worms ?!
Really good value race at 12.00.
Thanks
Janet
