Well done, Stratford

Home from Stratford’s Shakespeare Half Marathon with a new personal best of 1hr 56 minutes, 20 seconds – 2 minutes better than last year. Today’s race was truly superbly organised, with some spectacular English country-side, and what looked like a record number of runners. What is truly inspiring is the number running for charities and in memory of people they’ve lost. On some touch hills, there’s nothing more motivating to see those runners around you. So well done to the race committee and to the local Rotarians. You did a brilliant job today.
