Sandbach Striders

On Tuesday 15th September I did the Teach First Run the River in London. Starting at 7:00 in the evening in More London near Tower Bridge, over 3,000 runners set off to do a 5k or 10k, crossing several bridges across the Thames, and finishing at dusk with a jog across Tower Bridge, which looked amazing all lit up in the evening light. A great race . 
There are no path or road closures so we passed many bemused London Tourists who were
surprised to see the mass of blue t-shorts heading towards them. I completed it in 1hr 2 mns, which I was happy with given the stops and starts. I haven’t got a photo of me finishing as I walked to the start carrying nothing but my number! Picture from the internet below.


Second run today, Sunday 20 September,  the English Half Marathon in Warringron. A much improved course this year with an inspiring short detour through the Warrington Wolves stadium, just as I was starting to flag at 11 miles. Photo attached of me and Warrington Road Runner Diane Whitfield with our medals. I did a respectable 2hrs 13mns, and throughroghly enjoyed the run. I met another Strider but didn’t catch his name (Philip!)
