2 x 5K

Gosh Martin looks keen!

A frantic last week of running in March - two 5K races in four days! I competed in the low key Denbighshire 5K and finished in 3rd overall (21:57) - there's me on the left of the picture with the yellow gloves. John M on the right (orange vest) is looking worried on his return to racing after a year out - no need to worry as he won the race with comfort. And just four days later I ran in the very competitive Wirral Seaside run from the Leasowe lighthouse - although I was 49th I still managed to come in sub 20 in my best 5K time for years (19:41).


Here's a snap of the Leasowe lighthouse on a fine day - race entries are taken in the lighthouse (on the ground floor!) and we start somewhere near the point where this picture was taken - we turn right and right again to run along the promenade to the finish - it's a nice warm down jog back to the start (unless it's a cold windy day as it was last Wednesday. I did however carry a lightweight windproof top which helped.)

Weather is pretty dreadful for this time of year with lots of rain, snow and cancelled races but all will change in April hopefully!
