LLHM, First Half Marathon

So, after Horrendous training due to cold after cold, I managed to complete my first half marathon. And I really enjoyed the event. The first 9 miles were fine but then ankle pain set in. So, I ran walked the rest of the way. Still, completed in 3 hours and 21 minutes (Inc wee break) much better than the 3.45 I expected. We had fabulous support, music, people dressed as romans and suffragettes. It was fab and the other runners all rallied around each other.

The weather was tad hot, and managed to get slightly sun burnt.

But, what an amazing weekend after abseiling down the Spinnaker on Saturday.

Best of all, last night I heard that my friend who we have been raising money to get exoskeleton legs, has with the £9000 the abseil group raised at the weekend, and a large charity donation, hit her £80000 target :D
