My legs were still battered from the exertions of 48 hours previous, but I was determined to keep my winning run going and hoped that it could help see the team home to victory too.
I ran a nice consistent race, coming home first place in 23:17, at an average pace of 5:09. That was enough to record a 49 second gap to Affleck in second place.
Afterwards, my two and a half mile cool down took me longer to complete than the race itself, as my legs completely seized up! Fair to say I was ready for a massage having not had one in some six weeks...
Just as important to me as the individual victory, Wesham recorded a team win on home turf too. With Blackpool finishing one point better than Preston too, to push them down into 3rd place on the night, it meant that the teams are closer than ever going into the final two fixtures of the campaign.
In fact, Wesham have now moved level on points with Preston at the top of the table going into next months meeting at Chorley.
With just two races and only 8.9 miles in total to go now, things are starting to get interesting and from here on in every single point will count.
This is the first time since I joined the club 4 years ago that we have got this far into an interclub season still with a realistic chance of finishing in top spot.
Well done to all who turned out this week, let's push on now next time out at Chorley - this could yet be our year!
