Spot the difference?
Well it is 13 years and 18 minutes quicker.
The Qs were at it again for the summer of physical activity.
The adults did the half marathon, while Joe did the 7K and Isaac and Eleanor were on photo duty, and looking after us at the finish.
Mrs. Q had a fine run hitting her target and blowing away her previous time. Apparently the iPod and Skins made all the difference, as well of course, as the sticking to the training regime.
The official time was 2:13, in hot conditions. No cloud cover and 20C even when we were out on the roads.So well done to Shaz. Here’s to the next one.
Joe did well coming in at 38 minutes. The lad is on a roll.
MG came in feeling as bad as he looks in the 1997 photo. I was doing ok until 9k, with good time and feeling fresh. Then….phut.
So the training was not quite enough. Finished in 1:57, slower than the aim of 1:55 and the desire of 1:50.
So does one see it as:
- did well to run almost as quickly as 13 years ago or
- 13 years ago run as badly as a middle aged man?
Special thanks to EQ for holding the camera.
So far today Shaz has been through the paper finding as many people as possible that she knows who did the run-and seeing if she beat them!
I would say that MG now benefits from a more aerodynamic profile at the top……
