Rick Pullan and I turned out for this Wednesday evening running of the familiar Hyde Park 5k route. The series is held on the first Wednesday in July, August and September and there’s a bottle of beer for each finisher. The strong runners from Leeds AC were out in force, but we were both pleased to come in ahead of Veronique Marot who held the UK marathon record for 13 years before Paula.

There were 63 finishers on a muggy evening that clashed with the second World Cup semi final. Thanks to Liz for the support and photos.
Wow to finishing ahead of a former marathon record holder! Well done you two.
