Percy Pud 10k (Sheffield)

[Pollard]

Nigel,

Thanks for your comments. I was especially pleased to do this run, its my local and the majority of the route is based around some of my training runs. I've also managed to miss the last couple of races I have entered, GNR ('99) with a cold and the Sheffield half with a knee injury('00) so its been three years trying to shake off my knee, literally.

Um, sounds like you have the endurance to do better in a 10k, maybe a bit of speed work might help. Not that I do any apart from the odd tempo run. You might have just had a bad day last time round. If I can clock 49 mins anyone can.

Now, Christmas presents. So you're thinking of one of my moody, inspiration, original landscape paintings which might remind you some romantic holiday, to lift your spirits on a dark winters day? or a Timex?

Get real! You are a runner aren't you? Get the Timex, leave the paintings for girls!

Chris
