I did it! I did it! I did it!
I FINALLY beat 25 minutes in a 5k.
It's only taken me 6 years…

Marston Forest is a lovely flat well organised run and Friday night (14th June) was no exception. Conditions were good and having persuaded 3 colleagues to join me we then met up with the 2 other LBAC runners on arrival, James Bell and Theresa O'Keefe. Young Harry Bell managed to fend off his baby sis' in the fun run before we all headed out to the start line.

James put in a storming performance (he was just 7 seconds off his PB) and Theresa beat her target time in her first 'get back into it' run of the season. My workmates were equally pleased with their own performances and everyone enjoyed the setting.

A race to do again?
I'd say so:
Fun run for the tiddlers, enough toilets for the ladies, indoor cafe, chip to chip timing, medal, chip remover plier people to save that oh so difficult bend at the end and a banana (if you're quick enough).
