I did it!

I did a race for life today, ran almost all of it, I had to walk up a hill as everyone in front was, then I had about a 10 second stint too.

I found it quite difficult as there were so many other people around at differing speeds, so it was like mayhem, but I did It and beat my pb, I did it in 35:46!

Off out for a nice lunch to celebrate, at least I don't have to cook today!

Well done and great time. It's not easy running RfL because the field is so big and varied but the atmosphere is tremendous. Just about to blog my account of doing the Edinburgh one today.
