Well, can't believe how far I've come, almost 3 years since I started Couch to 5km, this morning, on a very cold start, completed my first ever half marathon!!! Ok, nowhere near Mo Farah's speed, but a time of 2hrs 37mins, which I was chuffed with as wanted to finish within 2hrs and 45 mins..... not bad for a 52 year old, who only started running just before her 50th birthday! Lots of high 5's around the course, and support, will I be back for another next year???? We shall see!!!!
