Racing diary: Wrekin Night Run 5/1/11

Wrekin Night Run 5/1/11

As the tittle says.

Found it hard going with the lack of exercise and extra weight I've put on over the last couple of months. I was however pleased with the head torch and enjoyed running through the woods at night. Hopefully, after this coming weekend, I'll be able to get back into some sort of regular training and get some races in the diary.

I'm surprised I haven't bumped into you on the Wrekin. Hope your ankles on the mend.
