24 hours until my first HM.

11 Replies

Hi folks,

I'm up north now, in Blackpool.

I've just got back in from walking part of tomorrows route.

I'm getting really excited it's 10:56 now, at this time tomorrow I will be stood with well over 1,000 other runners waiting for the start at 11am.

We are popping to the shops now for some retail therapy for my better half.

I will let you all know my experiences tomorrow in the half marathon.

Thanks again to couch to 5k, I started in October. The health, fun, fitness and weight loss were all started by the programme and the lovely people on this site.

Enjoy your runs this weekend.

All the best.

I had to check what HM stood for, surely it couldn't be Half Marathon?! I started in October too and thought I'd done well to run a 5k park run today. Good luck tomorrow.
