There isn't a week goes by without there are some great performances to admire in our sport. But one performance which I learnt of this week wasn't featured in Athletics Weekly. The performance of a certain 25 year old young lady in
THE GREAT SOUTH RUN.....HARRIET JENKINS 99.49.
Hardly a world record but this young lady weighed a staggering 26 stone plus just 18 months ago....just less than me times 3.....a dress size 30. Comfort eating taken to an extreme.
Today she is a svelte 11 and a half stone and a size 10 and Slimming World's
Woman of the Year. In contrast I'm quite keen to put a few pounds on! But it seems the pounds I put on in the second half of the day get burnt off the following morning.
SUN SEEKING TODAY
Not for the first time this week the Wharfedale was shrouded in a depressing, dank mist. But Pat, travelling to Lancashire, alerted me that Airedale, in contrast, was enjoying bright warm sunshine.
So it was out and back on the canal from 5 Rise Locks; shedding hat and gloves as the miles rolled by. Another tale of negative splits for the out and back course with a reasonably acceptable 8.45 mile average..........and 70 minutes of vitamin D boosting as recommended by the Sunshine Vitamin Alliance.
