Wythenshawe Park in midsummer


The lack of coverage of last weekend's running exploits has been remarked upon. When you take in these pictures you'll realise why - it was pretty uneventful.

On Saturday we assembled in the field near to Oliver Cromwell, who pondered, as ever, about when he would be able to conclude his siege of Wythenshawe Hall.


Some 248 runners and walkers assembled and took part. Here is Frank Cordingley in the 'Finish Funnel' after a gentle jog.


Sue and I finished in respectable times - Sue even managed an age related score of over 70% for the first time. The full results are here.


On Sunday, I went along to the Wythenshawe Community 2km or 5km run, where Colin told me to be the 28 minute pacer. That proved a lonely occupation until I caught up with a couple of people who I duly cajoled into finishing just inside 28 minutes.

Colin had an even lonelier run - as 30 minute pacer he failed to attract any customers. Here he is - a lonely finisher. There were just 30 of us running 5km, with 35 opting to stick to the 2km distance.


That was exciting, wasn't it!
