Looking Back
It’s been a good year. I started from a low point, but with help from family and friends, I’ve managed to follow the plan that I made at the beginning of 2012.

Norwich Parkrun # 123
One of my big goals for 2012 was to manage some training every week, no matter what else was going on. To that end, a parkrun with my brother-in-law and a mate, ticks the box on the final Saturday of the year.
Result: 18:45 (21st/286 overall)

Result: 18:54 (7th/166 overall)

A grand total for Mountain Rescue
Aside
Thank you so much to everyone who sponsored my crazy challenge on behalf of the Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Organisation. With a contribution from my employer, Sony Europe, and the Gift Aid that the charity can claim on most of our donations, we have raised well over £1000. I have posted photos and video of the challenge for your amusement! 🙂
Tadley Runners’ Xmas XC 2012

Result: 9th/176 overall (36:08)
