Results tagged “fun run” from Birmingham Mail - Bad Dad

A TIDAL wave of green swept through the city today as the first Birmingham Mail/Macmillan Fun Run saw the young, old, athletic and not so athletic take to the streets for a fantastic cause.

I don't really consider myself a runner as such, but anyone who has never done one of these 5 or 10km 'races' should seriously consider giving it a go.

It's fun with a huge feelgood factor, but most importantly it is utterly life affirming and something that even makes getting up at 7.30am on a Sunday morning worthwhile.

I knew the time would come when my eldest thought he could take me on.

Last week at football training he marched up to me bold as brass at the end and challenged me to a 100 metre dash...in front of his team-mates.

Now I'm no competitive dad but I believe in making my lot work for their successes.
