getbracknell - Reading Evening Post

Having had to stop before the end of a three hour training run on Saturday 13, I felt terrible walking the last 10 minutes in sleet and snow.  The prospect of trying to complete 26+ miles seemed a long way off. 

Fortunately at the beginning of the half term week I spent some time with my neice and her young children who took a great interest in improving my training. running through the Cornish countryside being shouted at by a 10 year old certainly rejuvenated my enthusiasm so after a short 1.5 hours on Thursday the 3 hours on Sunday was not easy but at least I didn't stop.  Sadly my wife is still faster and more stylish than I on the runs.

As Headteacher of Easthampstead Community School, I thought that I should do something different in 2010 to help draw attention to the work we are doing as a Specialist School for Sport.

I enjoy all sports and have tried to keep fit since giving up competitive sports twenty yeras ago.  However I like a challenge so for several years have completed the swimathon and some short charity runs.
