Bridgwater 5km Fun Run

After a suggestion from one of my students, I decided to have a go at my first ever organised run, supported by my wife and several students. As usual nothing goes quite to plan as I fractured my wrist 2 days before, but that's typical of me! I had in my mind that if this doesn't kill me then I'd start doing many more runs in aid of Parkinson's disease charities in the future - watch this space...

Group photo before we start. We all decided to run in a 4Life Martial Arts gi, but that quickly changed to 4Life T-shirts but not everyone had one... So I lent out a few of mine hence why 4 people are all called Mr Churchill!

From the left: Charlie, Kathryn, Lewis, Mark, Ollie, me (the real Mr Churchill!) and my wife Jane.


Under starters orders - we're not nervous!
Ollie was the first of our group across the line in a blistering time!
 He barely looks tired!
 Mark next with Lewis hot on his heels.
 Looks like Lewis could've done the 10km with ease!
 Charlie was next across from our group.
 I promised to stay alongside whoever was slowest in our group but they let me sprint finish the last 100 metres or so.
 I was a lot more tired than I look in this picture!
 Turning back to see Kathryn and Jane finish holding hands and supporting each other!
 So proud of both my wife, Jane, and my student, Kathryn.
 Hugs all round (so we don't fall over!)
Well deserved medals for everyone!

Thanks to Kathryn's dad, Ian, for taking the photos and her mum, Sharyn, for looking after all our keys, phones, jackets, etc.
