MGMT did 2.30 and really enjoyed it, I guess for different reasons.
Pete Rielly was equal first with Andi Jones, 1.14 i think, course record.
Eric - well done, my excuse for not coming in top 20, that steeplechase yesterday, and older than you.

both myself and ISAAC ran the alex park 5k, there was a few other Stockport runners also. ISAAC pb'd at around 19.40ish?? (i think, he'll correct me). It was too bloody warm and we both went off too quick 3.27 1st 1k and ISAAC was 3.35. Really suffered on the second lap but somehow got a second wind on the last mile and for the 1st time know one actually came past me. Nipped a few places in the last few metres, and finished in 18.12 a few seconds off a PB but in the heat pretty pleased. Just need to go sub 18 for the sizzlers. Just entered Manchester 10k did you OPT for another event or are you running it?
Legs felt heavy & the heat/humidity was unbearable. I really wanted to stop towards the end of this race but it was only that the guy next to me said it was definitely the last hill and the marshal at the top said its all downhill from here at about the 19km point.
Great race, v v scenic & terrific organisation as usual. Derwent water in Sept is the next one and I think we should make it another Stockport day out race. Get on line & applying http://www.lakelandtrails.org/Derwentwater%20Trail.htm

Well done TST, Management, Kwaka and Supertec!
DB- Thank you for bringing DL's misdemeanour to my attention.
Isaac- Please issue a red card to DL.
But gutted snowdon mountain race is full.
Trog in two weeks 17 June. Do like enter on day after dublin website.
Just NM tri website to battle with.
PG peanuts and bananas? is this a reference to some old post or are you a friut and nut case
DL - might try a sizzler, follow you then i get a PB, was that isaacs plan?
Well done to all runners this weekend.
Isaac, DL and Eric--Apologies for not wishing you 'Good luck!!'
Morticia--When i got back to Petes house we came up with the idea of mixing some flour and water together, putting it in the 'chewing gum' and then in the middle of the night sneak into Jims room and put it up his bottom, so when he woke up in the morning he would find it and be extremely confused/worried. But neither of us wanted to go nears Jim bottom so the idea was shelved.
Mort and DB apologies for the rant, the heat got to me.
Please don't swear. I am trying to clean up the thread. If you and your fellow fast runners slowed down a bit, you would probably feel less of a need for foul language.
I am enjoying the fell running book, although I don't think it will bring about any stunning transformation in my performance or attitude on Wednesday.I need to finish 3rd from last to continue my current pattern of fell race placings. Nothing else will suffice.Does it start from the Robin Hood pub?
I am also enjoying the Pixies, but I like the 'poppy' stuff best. I agree with you about 'this monkey's gone to heaven.'
Looking forward to your weekend away report, although I am working today, so may not read all about it til tomorrow.
My races pencilled in over the next month or so are: Capenhurst 10k 17th June (Ellesmere Port area, fast and flat), Warrington Road Runners 10k 24th June (Thursday, another fast and flat one) and then the 2 Sale 5k races on 12th & 26th July. Hope to see you at one of those. I will be at the track tonight so hopefully see you then - 4 x 300 X 3.
The course yesterday started at Pall Mall and headed straight to the tunnel, up out of the tunnel and then a loop round to the promenade and finish at New Brighton.
My money is on DL i think
Eric - just the needle I thought to spur you on, all you have to do is beat him and prove me wrong.
Kwaka garburn results are up me 1.47.59 so I shall log that as 1.47, going down as my half mara PW
I think I'll run it (even though it's hilly) as we need some Stockport runners actually competing.
Eric, I'm not surprised you're not doing Penny lane after those comments, it may have slipped out on the start line, then you would have 300 scousers chasing you, although it may have helped with a pb.
Warrington is not that fast, it's a twisty course and finishes on grass, I did it a few years ago. I may try it though instead of a sizzler.
Apologies to all!!!
Morticia--The Rainow 5 does start at the Robin Hood pub. Are the neighbours of yours that are taking a step up in the world and moving to HG, the ones that live across the road?
Further apologies to all--I don't have much to report from Cayton Bay except that my friends and i had a great time mountain biking, playing football, pool, air hockey and table tennis. We only went in the "Entertainment Centre" once and that was about 11pm on Friday night for a quick pint. Big mistake!! Did we learn nothing from last year? We lasted about 5 minutes. As usual, we didn't have our 'Entertainment Centre Pass' so we had to grovel to get in. "Please Mr In-bred, will you let me into your wonderful establishment?". It was the usual standard of clientele in there, the sort of people who would be refused entry to shops in Stockport town centre. If any of you like watered down alcohol then Cayton Bay Caravan Park Entertainment Centre is the place for you. I had i pint of cider, I'll assume it was called Weakbow. Then the bloke who is in charge of the Karaoke machine at the CBCPEC (He's living the dream!!!) announced it was Karaoke time! The first Chav up 'sang' the classic, 'Three Lions', whilst kissing his England shirt and his friend who was up next sang 'Walk of Life' so badly that it sounded even worse than when Mark Knopfler sings it! The taste of the drinks, the sight of Chavs on holiday and the sound of the Chav Karaoke was all to much for me and my mates and we did our own version of walk of life and left.
Decided to miss the track tonight - Mrs S isn't feeling the best. This also means I can do Tuesday and Thursday instead this week!! Must be months since I last made a Tuesday or Thursday appearance - see you tomorrow!
Kwaka - I've volunteered to marshall, definately not running it, although I may be helping on the Sweatshop front - not sure, but if they don't need me I'll help where required.
TST/DL - How fars the Offerton 10K ?
