Lovely day for a run around Bath along with 15,000 other runners!!

Not my best run.. legs really didn't want to work today, but crossed the finish line and picked up some bling.

My low point was when a Pantomime Horse passed me.. but I found some strength from somewhere to put them behind me!!

Ha! Perhaps we should all post about the embarrassing "over-takers" that we have witnessed.. Someone at work told me that they were once overtaken by someone running backwards!!

Running backwards? That was probably Miles_Yonder, he used to do that :D

Many many congratulations Andy. You must be delighted. I find it embarrassing to be over taken by small children running with their parents every week at Parkrun, although none of them have been wearing animal costumes ....yet!! :)

Great pics, well done and I saw the horse too, I don't know how they did it!! Wasn't it so hot too 😎

I saw the horse later on and his back half seemed to have lost its 'filling' and the front half had draped it around his withers. It still beat me though...

Congratulations Andy ! Massive respect to you - and so what if it wasn't your fastest, a HM is a long way and beyond my wildest dreams at the moment! The photos are great too, thanks for sharing🙂.

Congratulations. What a beautiful city to enjoy a (really long) run around. Lovely medal.

I was once overtaken by a pumpkin!
