Round and round and round and round we go, round and round and round we go. Well only three times but today I decided to delve back into Parkrun really as a favour to introduce fellow club member Debs to a free 5km run. This was my first proper run back after getting clearance from […]
Sheffield 101010
This was my first race since May 2011 after being injured with the dreaded Plantar Fascitis (nasty evil plantar f&*^%ing Fascitis). I had been running on and off short distance for about 3 to 4 weeks prior to today so wasn’t expecting anything nothing nothing at all. I had entered this race knowing it was […]
Bupa Great Yorkshire Run
If you asked me a few days before the Great Yorkshire Run how I was feeling, and whether I would run the streets of Sheffield, I would have grunted like a pig and scuffled through the streets like a pig, and looked like a pig probably. If you asked me straight after the Great Yorkshire […]
Race for Life Sheffield
Sheffield was dressed in pink today as 6000 runners descended on Don Valley International Stadium for another Race for Life in support for Breast Cancer. This was the third Race for Life I had done in Sheffield both other times in the afternoon on very hot summer days. This time we got a morning slot, […]
Sheffield 101010
101010 10th Oct 2010 what a sucker for a novelty run and in my home town too. What a shame (can you hear the voices of Robbie and Gary now? – ‘ all together now ‘Oh what a shame’,….) I was a poorly purple person having just got back from Turkey the evening before with […]
Bupa Great Yorkshire Run
The beginning of September, the air is crisp, cool and perfect for running. This is why so many runs take place in September. With my mate by my side I drop down a wave so we can run together as I was put in orange. Really well organised for the 8000 runners packed into Sheffield […]
Big Fun Run Sheffield
Having completed the Big Fun Run in Derby a month or so before, I knew what to expect, mainly for the novice runner and jogger hence the “fun” element of it. Only 200 or so runners, yet Graves Park is not just for the novice runner with its hills and grassy banks making it quite […]
Bupa Great Yorkshire Run
This was the second “Great Yorkshire Run” in Sheffield. A change of course this year to a much flatter route, going out towards the Sheffield Wednesday ground and back again. In true Sheffield style a warning about the tram lines were given as the beginning of the race forced runners to dodge over them, we […]
Bupa Great Yorkshire Run
This was the first ever “Bupa Great Yorkshire Run” in Sheffield City Centre. A silent start as we all gave our respects to Jane Tomlinson at the start with a 2 minute silence to remember the braveness of this incredible woman. The race was in waves which was a new concept to me, I was […]
