About me:
Hi my name is Chris I live in Wakefield West Yorks. I found my love running of when I was at junior school and I would have been 9 or 10 years old. It was the school sports day, I was in the 800 meters there was 2 heats and I won the first, which put me into the final, and then I won that too. From that moment on up until hitting 17 I ran all the time, I was a member of Wakefield Harriers. Training with them twice a week, entering track meetings, travelling up and down the country taking part in all sorts of running events. It all came to a rather abrupt end when I entered the first Wakefield half marathon back in 1982, looking back at my time of 1.28 and a placing of 153 out of 1500 this was a very decent time to cover the distance, after this I never ran again until January 2006. It’s a strange feeling I have now, not of regret because I have the opportunity to recapture all those missed years and It gives me a clear goal to reach for, one that I aimed for before and conquered and on |
