What a day!

May1820086:22 p.m.

Well, there we have it. Another GREAT Manchester Run!  What a superb day, or morning i should say!  To see everyone in the city getting ready to take part was just awesome, and there was a fantastic buzz across the city, and it showed what a great sporting city Manchester is, and we wont let a few morons get in the way of it!!

I completed the race in 52 mins which was quicker that i thought and i have raised a superb £1,300 for St Pauls for their Spire Repair Appeal, which i am made up with.

To all you who took part, hats off to you for your part in making it such a fantastic events, you guys are all legends!

Keep on running!

Matt
