Well two of them Graham Early and Steve Twynham decided to do a 10k challenge on the treadmill at the Roko gym, Clifton Moor York.To be fair the two of them planned to do the challenge before the Christmas break anyway realising that it helps to be a supreme athelete if you want to improve your golf.
Graham and Steve had been training since early September 09,(thought I would just mention that before some comment was made suggesting 08).
The day finally arrived and the 10k challenge took place on December 19th at 9.30am.
What a great event it was, the staff at the gym, well one of them had dressed up as Santa's helper. I must say she could come down my chimmey anytime!!!!!!
Prior to entering the changing room the girl who works in the Costa Coffee (we should be getting paid for all these mentions) asked how long did we think it would take us. Our reply was quicker than we were served with a coffee the last time we visited Roko as we had to remind her twice that we had ordered. The banter was good and the place was energised.
Great news Steve and Graham broke the 60 minute mark, infact they both achieved personal bests. A fantastic day.
Celebrations took place in the coffee lounge, Santa's helper helped and served the coffee bringing it to the table, this really made the coffee taste that much better.
As a treat Steve had a Latte with Creme Brulee. Slightly worried at first when he asked what it tasted like and the reply came back.........a bit like rice pudding?
Well that is the 10k challenge done.
Graham and Steve now have to decide what the next challenge will be?
Ben Fogle and James Cracknell watch out, North Yorkshire challenges are on your case.
Enjoy the festive break.
