Swinton Half Marathon Sunday 28th September 2008

Yes it was that shock to the system again trying to motivate yourself to do a half Marathon at 8.30 in the morning but another fortunate break in the weather meant that conditions were good for the race which was its 30th Anniversary and rewarded finishers with a nice goody bag with glass running momento. I was happy with my steady improvement on my mile times of 10 seconds per mile from last weeks Garstang Half. Stewart had to work hard to overcome niggles to keep his position with Chorley runners 6 seconds each side of him, Paul Jackson just ahead out of reach and Jackie Redmayne doing a 1:28.56 PB closing from behind keeping the pressure on him to the finish.
