Half Marathon completed
Sunday 9 June 2013 - Phew I have a few minutes spare to let you know how my very first half marathon went. Well to start with I ran all the way and completed the course in just over 2.5 hours which is about what we expected to do. It was very hard work and I came in at 2477 and there were 2567 that finished so I wasn't last. The course was hilly so the training really paid off, the event was well organised and the Marshall were really good they do an excellent job. We finished the day at a local pub and had a meal with our MND sufferer who came to support us. We still have to collect in some money but we have raised over £800.00 not quite at the £1000.00 we had hoped for but a good effort I think.
From starting my training in February I have had 50 outings including today. I have run a total of 229 miles and have burned off 25,580 calories (but still need to loose a stone!) Will I carry on running, yes I will so watch this space.
