Saddleworth 6

The Saddleworth 6 is probably my cloest road race with it being down the road.  I could have run there as a warm up but Donna decided to run there as her run so I took the car with Kadi and the running clothes in.  I wasn't sure how the race would go.  I have had a niggling pain in the top of my right hamstring and the other day I was thinking it was making me skip and not run.  I mentioned it to a few people on the course and they kept a look out for me when racing to see if they could notice.  They didn't seem to notice anything wrong so will see how it goes.  Ben Fish won the race in 29.27 which is an impressive time.  We set off hard, or I should say Ian Grime set off like he was doing a 1500m race and then the race settled a little.  First mile 4.36ish and then Ben Fish pushed on.  I was pleased to finish in 30.00, would have liked to dip 30 or even run my low 29 I have ran before on the course but I haven't ran this fast for a little while now what with having the marathon championships the other week.  I now need to focus my training on some speed work if I am going to run well at the Sheffield 10k on Sunday 5th September.
