My personal message:

Well guys and girls, I am back from my 10k Run and thanks to everyone's generosity I managed to raise over £2,000!

The day itself started at 6.30am with my alarm going off and me bolting upright in bed wishing the past few weeks had been some sort of sick nightmare. Unfortunately at 6.45am the second alarm went off and I realised it wasn't a dream, so decided to drag my sorry butt out of bed and get ready.

As arranged, we at the M56 Chester service station where we left one of the cars and headed off to Tatton Park. Things were looking good on the weather front, gray skies, no wind, and no rain - just perfect for running. However, the minute we arrived and got out of the car, the heavens opened along with thunder and lightning.

Unfortunately the weather meant the ground was extremely bad to run on, and within 2 minutes I swear my shoes weighed an extra 5kgs! There were over 3,000 people taking part, and obviously this meant the ground was churned up and was extremely slippy. Yes, unfortunately I went over on my bad foot at the 6km mark so stopped for 20 seconds to loosen the shoe - any longer and I wouldn't have started running again, I swear!

Told Ceri to carry on running and I would catch her up, well that was the idea! I had her in my sights all the way, but no matter how hard I tried my legs wouldn't go any faster. Still, I managed to cross the finish line in precisely 1hour 3minutes which I was chuffed about. Ceri managed it in 1hr and 1minute. We’re both extremely proud and surprised at what we've managed to achieve in terms of fund raising and the run.

After the race it took us an hour to get out of the car park and another hour to find a pub where we'd arranged to meet a few others. A well deserved pint was downed extremely quickly and we ordered 2 of the biggest Sunday roasts you've ever seen with extra Yorkshire Puddings :o)

Thanks again to for your donations

Never again... until next time...
