Bristol 10k for SARSAS

We did it!!! - http://www.sarsas.org.uk/sarsas-10k-champions/ I’ve recently been getting increasingly sweaty in tight fitting Lycra to push for a 10k finish time in the region of 45mins in this year’s Great Bristol 10k. (For a bit of perspective my time last year was 00:57:30.) As I’ve improved I decided that a good motivator would be to pick a local charity to run on behalf of. With this in mind I shall be running this Sunday’s 10k to help raise some money for a desperately deserving cause, namely SARSAS. What is SARSAS? SARSAS are a specialist support service for people in Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset, Somerset, or South Gloucestershire, who have experienced any form of sexual violence, at any point in their lives.
