My first half.

[Nwrkpak]

Did my first half in Chester this weekend and I loved every single minute of it. I was very much a "I only ever want to run 10k" girl but the runs got easier, I got stronger and made some fab running friends. Our time was 2h44 which we are both a little disappointed. I know I could have pushed harder but I was actually having do much fun. Got some more halfs on the cards and might aim for 2h30 for my next one.

Ps I dont even ache very much 😉😁😁

Thank you. I am more of a lurker than a poster but I love how positive and supportive everyone is. I had such a great day I just had to share 😊

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Nwrkpak]

Thank YOU! We love to read race reports 😊😊😊

[Nwrkpak in reply to roseabi]

I may take some time later and post why I enjoyed it so much, describe the course , support etc. It really is a great one to do and I’d thoroughly recommend it , especially as a first 😀

Excellent!

Brilliant! Personally I think the fun factor outweighs the time factor massively. It should be far more about having fun and smiles over miles rather than a stop watch 👍😁 congratulations on your first half 🏅💥

Well done! Fabulous achievement and you look so happy. I did it too, a great day, well organised and I had a long weekend in Chester with the family as a bonus. I enjoyed it, but I don't think I was smiling as much as you. There seemed to be a lot more hills than advertised!

Thanks everyone . It's a great one to do .

I saw you I was in it too, I was one of the Penyffordd runners in green vests. Well done you. Saw you coming in at the finish. Wasn’t it a great occasion. This was my first for 19 years. You looked really strong at the end, well down😀😀😀👍👍

[Nwrkpak]

Well done you . Your first in 19years . And what a great one to make your comeback on. Congratulations x
