I had to set the timer on my watch while running - no stopping, so no cheating, and then turned on one of my playlists to help me through. I had decided to take a new route so I didn't have any sense of where the halfway point would be. I was running to the next village to meet folks at the pub, which I thought should be the end. I was tired near the end and it was uphill to the pub. I heard a "Go Girl" from the people sitting outside and that spurred me on, and then Mick Jagger started singing "Don't Stop" and I ran all the way to the pub. I think I was a little over the requisite 25 min, but I wasn't about the stop with people watching.

Great job coping with the technical glitches... and I can’t think of anywhere better to end a run... Hope you had a good multivitamin drink just after.
