Today was my first half marathon of the year i didn't feel fit enough for Stafford so Sheffield it was ,i had been running well in training over the last couple of weeks and new that i could post a decent time i new i wasn't in Kev's league so it was andy soltysik time from stafford  of 1h24 was my target time

i had run sheffield a couple of times before and had always enjoyed the course mainly flat with a few hills chucked in early in the race but all downhill from mile 7

I went out a bit faster than i wanted 6.23 and did suffer for it over the next 3 miles but got to the first water stop and started to relax and get into my running  by the time i got to mile 6 i new i was on for a good time going through in 39 Min's  i pushed on for the last 3 miles to record a new Pb of 1.23.39 a Pb by over 3 Min's and a placing of 61st which again isnt bad for a plodder

I'm a very happy boy today
