We were hoping that it wouldn't rain or be too hot!  It was a bit on the chilly side but to be honest thats ideal for running.

I'd managed to do the 5k in 34 mins in training but was aiming to finish in under 40 mins.  37 mins was fine with me.  It hadn't occurred to me that there would be steep hills in the route so hadn't bothered to train up any......oops! ;D

It's been a long time happening but I felt that I needed to put something into cancer research, we've both lost our mums to it and I'm at increased risk of it so only seemed right.

Well done Ljay a great effort,the only way I can see for you to improve your time was to not slow down by waving  ;)

On a more serious note thank you for doing this as I know what it is like to lose a mother and a grndmother both to cancer,lets hope that they will find a cure for it.

well done LJ - and a good time too.

I was actually going to run the Leeds one with my daughter this year, and had about 300 quid of sponsors lined up.

Then I found out it was women only  >:(

Well Done LJay!! , daughter did the Bournemouth one this afternoon, and took 42.16 which was good for her, as she suffers from chronic athsma at times, (and it was raining  :-[)

Well don to all who have run, and contributed to this very very worthy cause..

Lost my mum, dad and sister to cancer, sadly so a charity close to my heart.

PS would have sponsored you LJ, but several others got in first... almost a weeks wages gone  ;D ;D

Thank you. :y

I think we did ok, not sure how much the others raised but I'm at £340 before gift aid.  I'm really thrilled, only set a target of £100 as didn't think anyone would sponsor me.

I'm really touched and humbled that people did, it's a subject that's affected an awful lot of people.

Thanks for the support. :y
