janda does the North London Half!

Feeling pretty good placing 1805/ 4788 and 74th in my category (Men 50-54) in a new Personal Best time of 1 hour 52 minutes 35 seconds. A full 51 seconds faster and on a more challenging course. (Mildly undulating apparently doesn't include the big hills!) Refueled before facing the next ordeal ... shopping in Sainsburys . Photo below is before the start at the home of Saracens Rugby Footbal Club.

If that's the Vitality HM in May, I'll see you on the start line!

[ju-ju- Graduate]

wow...thats a fantastic time, well done you and thats a brilliant rank for your age category too....

[janda Graduate]

Thanks JJ. It's a good feeling and motivating for the next one which I'd like to get down to 1:50 if I can. It probably means shaving another seven seconds off every km to do it. Better think of a plan!

[Rob_and_his_westie Graduate]

That sir, is one incredible achievement. Well done you, you should feel very, very proud of yourself.

Fantastic it's always great to hear of other peoples pb's, makes you all the more determined to go get one yourself

[janda Graduate]

Yes it does, doesn't it? I was saying earlier today that the motivation comes from what others say, do and think to encourage you. I have had lots of it from these pages and from elsewhere on social media. Thanks.
