Lancaster 5k by Garry Baines


Lancaster 5k – 27th August
Carole & I went up to Lancaster on Saturday evening to take part in the latest race in the Lancaster 5k series. This was my first race in 7 months.
On the way up, Carole bought some snazzy new turquoise trainers from Sweatshop and decided to wear them for the race. Be prepared to wear shades if she’s running with you in the future. Anyway it seemed to do the trick for her as she came home as first Lady V45 with a fantastic PB time of 21:51, knocking over a minute off her previous best.
I, of course, started way too fast for my current fitness level but just about hung on to complete the race in 25:15, 15 seconds below my target.
