BUPA Greater Manchester 10k
So on Sunday 16th May I took part in my first long distance run, the BUPA Great Manchester 10k. I'd prepared pretty well with plenty of training sessions and I managed to finish bang on my target of 50 minutes. Although I'm pleased with this result I felt as I crossed the line I could have done shaved a further minute or two off my time after pacing myself a bit too much early on, but we'll put this down to experience and I'll be faster next time!
After being a bit slack with raising any sort of sponsorship I am pleased to confirm that I raised £150 (+ £42.31 gift aid) in just under a week for the Alzheimers Society
