The next run is on November 18th and I’m hoping to do about 34 minutes .. which will be hard, but achievable: It’s what I ran in November last year!

Weird. However I then made the casual suggestion that I might end up going in a fun-run.

In a moment of weakness I signed up and got my sister Jacqui, her husband Matt and my mate Andy to run with me.

Well I did it! I wanted to run in under 40mins and ended up doing it in 32m29s! I came 58th in the M30-39 group and 612th overall. Their results system kinda sucks so I’ve no idea how many racers there were over all.

So did I catch the bug? Well, yeah, I’m running again in November.
