First official half marathon

Although I’ve reached 17 miles in training, today was my first official half marathon - Liverpool Rock ‘n’ Roll! It’s the first time I’ve run the distance completely non stop - in training I stop for a few seconds to refuel but today I plodded on and I underestimated how much harder this would make it! It was a tough course: hilly at the start and the final 5k had a horrific head wind along the Mersey. I ran with 4 others from club and we held hands and crossed the line together 😍 At the end I was an emotional wreck! Joining a club is one of the best things I did last year (obviously C25K and joining the parkrun community are the other 2). Now for a week in the sun before marathon training commences 😳 Click on the pic to see my Liverpool collage 😊
