Just a quick post as watching the tv highlights soon!

A good day had by all here and someone you all know well (mentioning no names poppypug! )might well have bagged herself a new PB I reckon, I will let her tell you though! This was a before the rain piccy, it did chuck it down for alot of the race but we all had a fun time and then coffee/tea and catch up afterwards. I'm just tucking into the goodie bag at the mo , off out to dinner a bit later for Paul's 49th Birthday. ..πŸ˜†

Well done Ali and all!πŸ’ͺ Great photo! Poppy's in the pink with her new pb. Rain in Manchester?😁 Maybe that was refreshing at times. So, Paul got new socks, wonder if that's just a subtle hint from poppy?😁
