Good-John 10k

One of the reasons I decided to drive last night and not partake in the cocktail shenanigans and their amusing -for me anyway- consequences was the prospect of running the Goodrich 10k this morning organised by Wolves & Bilston athletics club.

Well I did run it this morning and felt pretty good too. I was relatively pleased with my 41:45 in the end. A couple of other West Brom Harriers were there too; James (35:59) and John here who finished in 60:40.
Although he doesn't look it, John runs in the men's over 70 category and seems to know all the courses around the midlands -which is great when you've never done one of them before. He's one of the club's veterans and has been a member for years and years, though not quite as far back as the club's founding in 1924.

Oh and he's got new bright orange trainers -I'm dead jealous!
