Mike Holmes

Ran in with Dan (17k in 4.55s per km) and then also a short loop with Mike at lunch which took us west down the embankment, over to the better south side via Westminster Bridge and back across the wobbly bridge (6k in 5s). Great catching up with him.

Same age we both started at GS the same year and have shared many a joke over the best part of 2 decades. A mad Liverpool fan who grew up in a working class area in the city, defying all the odds and was the first in his family to go to Uni finishing with a First in mathematics at Cambridge no less. He is one of the good guys.

We were both in Germany at the same time in the early 2000s, the highlight being the night when we did the all-nighter to go and watch Liverpool’s Champions League Semi away at Bayer Leverkusen. We spent hours trekking for tickets and was ludicrous looking back at it now but a lot of fun. He’s not changed one iota.
