Short Cross-country race in Moorslede, Belgium on Sunday 25th October 2009: 9th place out of 44 finishers

Decided while I was in Belgium for a long weekend (main reason to see Roxette at The Night of The Proms in Antwerp on Saturday 24th October), to run a short 3km cross-country race in Moorslede, not too far from where my parents live.

Really enjoyed the race, especially the fast start, even if I ran out of steam after one lap:(

Here are some photos of the race, and thanks for these to Ludo Depoortere and Martine (sorry don't have surname but this excellent photographer is Herman Van den Borre's wife)!!

Note: more photos to follow tomorrow!!!

Fell running is tough: Ceirog Canter Fell Race: 17/10/09

Some photos of the race today at Glyn Ceiriog, North Wales. Thanks Alastair Tye for the two photos of me scrambling through the heather up the hill! More on the race later!

Stay focused even if you can't breath properly with your cold

I can do this, ran a marathon two weeks ago!

Sprint for 1st place!

Here I come nearly there!

Keep going, you can get under 47'30"!

Got the T-shirt & medal and very happy!

Lady I keep meeting at Sefton park races - we've exchanged email addresses!

A race report and my training update will follow tomorrow (promise), as I am a bit too tired right now. But here are some lovely photos my husband took!
