A great day and quite emotional! Not a fast one at 33 (Freya 32) but it would have been rude to start barging past for the sake of a few minutes. It was lovely to read all the personal messages on the backs of everyone too - So inspirational! Happy running all! :)

Thank you!! It was fab! Raised a nice amount too! To think back in January when I entered us - I couldn't run a couple of minutes and now running with my sporty daughter - a memorable experience! x

Thank you! x It was good fun Miss Wobble- who clearly does not wobble anymore!! Couldn't help welling up seeing those messages though- such a bloody wet lettuce! Hope your shopping trip for new clothes was a success! x

Aw thank you :) It was lovely! and so nice that her 'old' mum ran with her pace for pace! I'll never convince her to do the 10k though - Freya's a sprinter! x
