On Saturday (25th April) our Team DM Lab once again managed to drag themselves away from their desks to take part in the Abergavenny 10k once again organised by Steve and Jane Poolton (who were the organisers of the Almeley 10k). There were a total of 69 runners on the day, Dale finished 9th with a time of 45:44 and Chris finished 15th with an equally respectable time of 46:31, both setting new PBs which they were pleased with! A real positive with the Hereford Half Marathon organised by St Michael’s Hospice just around the corner!
Doing the 10k on Saturday and watching the London Marathon on Sunday has really given us the buzz for the half marathon. We plan to enter full marathons next year as our training progresses, this year we are focusing on multiple 10k races, we have signed up for 2 half marathons, the Hereford Half Marathon organised by St Michael’s Hospice as mentioned and the Herefordshire Festival of Sport half marathon in September. We’re also doing some fun mud runs and obstacle races, as well as entering the Wheelie Big Cycle also organised by St Michael’s Hospice.
So, next year full marathons, duathlons, maybe some triathlons and there was even talk of a 24 hour relay race. Loads to look forward to!
