Tom what you've been up to?

Oh, what have I been up to?

I don't really know what have I been up to on Saturday I ran at Fantas Abbey Park Run

Did quite a cool thing actually so I ran with my friends Alex and Caleb Caleb Caleb and Caleb his son Alex's father Caleb is a rather swift 8 year old who can run, I think he's 20-50 is his

PB I think and he takes down a few of the big fellas on his way around most weeks and he's

amazing absolutely smashing himself to pieces so he's really really good. I think it's a talent that not many people

have that he can absolutely rinse himself but unless you can control it it can become a

bit risky kind it you know and not so much fun so I set him a challenge this week that we'd run together

and we'd start the back. And if you start the back, certainly a Flanders Abbey Park run, you can't run very

quick at the beginning, so you can't go off too quick. You cannot run a too fast first mile if you're at the back.

And we played a game to run through the field and see how many people we could overtake without elbowing them out the way.
