More bling!!!!!!!

โ€ข22 Replies

Well hello everyone ! and now as I'm showered and resting ,I can tell you how the event went.

Woke up bright and early,to a glorious morning. Had porridge for breakfast ! (slow release ha! ).

Packed a bag with essential such as water,towel, and Pink lippy ๐Ÿ’„ !!

As hubby and I with our Labrador Myfanwy ( Myfi) set off to Hereford this morning we were all in great spirits. It just got better and better! We even managed to park without too much trouble and enjoyed a beautiful walk to the venue. The sun was shining โ˜€๏ธ,yet there was a fabulous breeze that managed to stay with us all the way round the track.

Spoke to loads of people ,but we think that they were more interested in Myfi,ha!

There were lots of flowers,bandanas,etc all pink! to buy. Plenty of porta toilets which as a woman of a certain age I was grateful for .

So after loads of banter from the organisers ,and radio station we then had a warm up!

The lass that warmed us up with lots of dancey,jumping ,up and down etc ( you know how it goes) was totally off the wall! she was obviously on e E numbers! ha!

Then after a minutes silence for all that had lost their battle with this horrendous disease, off we went !

Underfoot was bumpy and lumpy,mostly grass. This was because unlike the previous time in May and the last time I ran this race it was around the race course . Today it was around the perimeter of the golf course so slightly different,not very flat.

The advantage was that we didn't have to go twice around the track only once. It was slightly different. The finish point being on the athletic race track.

It was very very warm,so plenty of water taken on board! Laura came with me for 35 mins and the the last 5 mins Abba came with me! ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽต completed in 40mins,was hoping for a faster time but had a great day all round and it's not about the times but about the reason behind it all.

Then before we knew it,it was all over for another year!.โ˜น๏ธ

So.......! Here's the photos and the bling!!!!! And many thanks for all of your good luck wishes. Whew! Sorry it's so long!!!!

Happy running all ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€

Well done! This heat just saps the energy. It is not about the time but more a united effort to highlight the impact of cancer and raise money for the cause. It is an achievement to be able to run RFL as many do walk too. So enjoy your well deserved medal!

Thank you so much skysue16. Your very kind! It was a brill day but very hot. However it was all for a good cause. Had previously stated that we had raised thirty thousand pounds on the day.However I have since been corrected by my fab hubby! It was in fact thirty eight thousand. So great work was done by all ha!

Once again many thanks and happy running!๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€xx
