Manchester - my first 10k (with other people watching)

I would never have imagined this when I decided to have a crack at c25k late last year. Yesterday’s run (55 mins 47 secs) was no more or less painful / rewarding than Run #1 when I struggled to keep going for 20 seconds

Here’s me and the inspirational Andy Burnham (pre run). I even got 2 seconds on BBC2 going through the start line

I highly recommend it to anyone who doubts they can do it. One week before my 52nd birthday I reckon I did a proper run for the first time since secondary school cross country :-)
