easy 5k, last run before the Manchester 10k on Monday - 10,000 people! - no chance of a good time in that crowd, so just relax and enjoy the sights - the route takes us past the new Imperial War Museum by Daniel Leiberskind, and there is a spectacular indoor finish inside G-Mex.
If you're watching it on BBC2, I'm the little fat out-of-breath red-faced one in a URWFC vest!
