Exhibition Park 5k 13/08/08

Despite not feeling great at the start(probably due to the high mileage marathon training) i went into this race believing id beat my pb.It was a typical british summer day with the rain coming down and the pace was fast from the off so it was good to get in a group with Waterston(Morpeth)Moore (NSP)Tomlinson(chester-le-street)me and 2 other lads. As we past the halfway stage i felt really strong and pushed the pace on and the group was down to the first 4 i just mentioned.A slower 300m spell around the twisty pond meant tomlinson pushed on and it was me against 2 runners(moore and waterston) who i often battle with me getting the better of moore at last but a strong finish from waterston meant i couldnt catch him.Another pb though so reasonably happy.Thinking about training/joining Morpeth harriers again.

Amsterdam Bring it on!!

Trainings been going really well recently and seem to have a balance between maintaining a bit of speed with endurance.Long runs especially are going great and todays 22 miler felt really easy on quite a hilly run managed to average 6.34 average without trying.All in all feel really confident to do 6.08 miling or 2.41 in Amsterdam after hopefully getting a morale boosting pb on my Great North Run debut.Double header this weekend Saturdays 6 stage relays then the Norham 10km.Funny thing is dont really want to do them but would like to help my club on saturday where as the Norham 10k is becoming an annual thing and its really good to catch up with some of the family.As always ill give 100%.

Many a great weekend day with picnics with the family, a bit of football, homemade boat racing down the river and perhaps where my love for hill running was subconsciously born running up the fells with my brother who was good going up and I was good going down hill. High fell events put on this event as part of there high fell trail series but the terrain meant this was a winter fell race in freezing conditions ! The race organiser Barry had sorted an entry which was great after the recent good news of my boy Kais all clear from cancer which at 17 was hard for everyone concerned. I knew quite a few faces and off I went for my warm up the start of the Ingram trail half which I won 2 years ago and given the fact I didn't really prepare apart from one 5 am fell run a week before I kind of accepted victory wouldn't be mine especially after spotting young Briggs o...
