My dear wife Pat was out with her wee camera at Sunday's MOONRAKER 10K staged by MIDDLETON HARRIERS at Bowlee, Manchester. In competition with a local Race For Life event in nearby Heaton Park in which 2000 took part but still 111 tackled the undulating, challenging 10K which takes in tarmac paths , local roads and a degree of trail.
SYNCHRONIZED RUNNING. Ran with Grete Waitz from 17 miles point to Westminster Bridge. She ran 2:25:29 for a World Best Time to my 2:25:35. , beating my 1982 PB by 4 minutes 10 seconds.

career to full circle.
