It was a pleasure to massage at the Dronfield 10k yesterday. When I woke and saw the weather. I thought wow what a day, not the greatest for running, massaging and socializing. But I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thankyou to all that spoke to me, had a massage, took a business card and or leaflet.
I appreciate your time, especially in that weather.
I also appreciate all of the runner's efforts, especially the spectators and the children and families participating in the fun run as well as the Dronfield 10k. Most significantly a young boy that did the fun run and had a nose bleed and was still smiling, what a trooper.
Growing up I was a sprinter, I was 200m Sheffield champion, the Yorkshire Javelin champion and I also played basketball for the Sheffield hatters. I tried cross country but it wasn't for me, asthma limited me when it came to long distance running.
This year I attended the Sheffield Marathon as well as the Dronfield 10k. And I saw running long distance in a different light to when I was a child. Loving sport and enjoying watching so many I've always enjoyed the fast pace of football, basketball, athletics etc. Seeing the camaraderie, the love, the respect and support that the runner's and families give each other is beautiful beyond words.
Whether people are running for themselves, to beat personal bests, for fun, for charities, to support friends, it's an absolutely beautiful thing to watch.
You can feel the energy from person to person the way runners and families cheer for each other, whether they are friends or strangers it is a wonderful thing.
I will most definitely be back in Dronfield sindelfingen park next year for the 10k come rain or shine!
Thank you for having me!
