Larkim - they pushed the numbers up to 1500 - I think the announcer said 1200 had turned up - slightly busier than a few years ago, but still enjoyable and the weather came out to bat for us.

That's great, good to hear it wasn't affected. For a race which is on lots of open roads in perhaps one of the less naturally attractive parts of the world at a time of year when weather doesn't always play nicely, they do a cracking job for local runners and get great support.

I think your bang on there Larkim, on paper its not the most attractive of races, but has a good following. Traffic's bloody busy round there, had to go against the advice of google to get back down to the M60.

Easy then harder 2 mile run today...just before it started to get dark. I keep meaning to go out at lunchtime but that never happens.

I'm not sure, having lived in Stockport for 20 years, that I'd agree it's lovely😂
Is the famous marshal halfway up the second hill still there Jono? Seem to recall she took great joy in telling people she was at the top of the hill, before you reached her and it went round a bend up another hill 😁

I met a friend of my wife's last night and she said she'd run ten miles in the Goyt valley at the weekend. I nodded and says that was nice, imagining she'd run up towards Buxton etc. Nope, turns out it was the Stockport 10. That's how I'll describe it from now on!

Trains were buggered this morning when I got to the station very early...0625 was when I tried to call hubby but stuck around in hope that a train would arrive. Walked home a bit later...so working from home. Will go for a run at lunchtime.
