Manchester Half Marathon




Having lurched from one niggle to another preparation for the Manchester Half Marathon had not gone to plan. So I decided to just make it a steady run, keeping an even pace throughout.



The race was won by Kris Jones in 1.03.46. The conditions today being ideal for running. This is also a fast course and I wish I could have raced on it 30 odd year ago as I’m sure it would have led to a revision of my pb.


 Today’s tactics however proved to be the right one’s for me as I clocked 1.51.12, despite, once again, cramping up. At least it is a pb as an over 65 year old. Every cloud has a silver lining. As they say.

I enjoyed today’s run as did my sister Catherine who also ran. I think we may be back for another attempt.
