Woooo - First Race Done

So after having a meltdown all day over the race tonight, I am pleased to report that I finished it and ran most of the way. The hill beat me on the second lap and I walked half of it but I did better than I thought.....and....I wasn't last. Not far off though.

Time - 37.06 which is much better than I thought.

So, pic of me and my first ever medal has to be shared with my couch family.

Excellent! Love your photo with your medal! Maybe I'll get one, one day! I can imagine how nerve-wracking today must've been for you, I'd be the same I bet. Well done, bet you go to bed smiling tonight!! x

Thanks Beetie. I have a big smile on my face and have. Feeling I may struggle to sleep tonight.

You'll get one. Never in a million years did I think I was capable of that until I met Laura!!!!

Dunnja, you look fab! Well done on your race and you have a medal! I would have been a nervous wreck before, well done for taking part!
