Like the other runner profiles, I have tried to upload additional pics of them "in action". First I can’t keep up with him to get a pic, or everything come out in a blur… to give you an idea of this guys speed I have substituted a couple of pics…

I thought this was a good one!

But this is probably more appropriate!!

Ask Dr Lasecki what he does for his own mental health, and I will gaurantee that running long has to be near the top of his list. Watch Kim as he runs this years Bellin. Careful, don’t blink or you will miss him!!
