... and a route that passes a very busy marine-commando training barracks TWICE for 'twas a there and back again run... well, she completes her first 60min run! Must've been the pom-pom that gave some extra momentum! And <ahem> not wanting to collapse in front of all those marines. Oh, hang on, I think I missed a trick there!! 😳😉

You so did.... collapsing, (gracefully), in front of the barracks.... faintly flushed and with a winsome smile?

Nope.. you did good..pom-pom flying and 60 minutes in the bag...Marines... eat your hearts out....this is a runner :)
