Thanks to everyone who sponsored me in yesterday's Great Manchester Run.
I finished it in 63mins 43secs. I was well happy with that considering it was my first effort at one of these type events and I was suffering badly with shin splints.
Overall through the website and other various sponsor forms I managed to raise just over ?1.5k so really a big thank you.
