Well, I got round OK even if it was tiring and I had to walk towards the end! Provisional time was 2:28:40 but I’m not worried about that. Got PBs for 10 miles, 20K and HM anyway so that’s the icing on the cake!🙂👍

Thanks everyone for your support and encouragement, and massive congratulations to all of us who were running HMs today🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️👏👏👏

You definitely should be pleased - at the very least, more like 'over the moon' with a silly grin :D

Thanks Irish-John, I should have paced myself better but I was feeling good😊 A little over confident on my part but I’ll learn from that🙂👍

Brilliantly done, David! I just knew you would do well - that’s a fantastic time. And the conditions sounded tough! Fancy Beckenham half next year?!

Rest up, bask in your victory, and let me know when you are up for a relaxed run (I am still re-habbing!)

Bravo! 👏👏👏

David_GMetric Marathon in reply to Sadie-runs

Hi Sadie, yes I’m up for Beckenham next year!🙂👍

Going to have a quiet week running-wise then get back into it the following week I think.

I’ll let you know then and see if you’re free😊

Thanks for all your support and encouragement 😀👏👏

Very well done David. Lots of PB’s and if that’s an ‘after’ pic you look remarkably unruffled!

I do, don’t I Colin!?😳 Can’t imagine how that happened as I didn’t feel like that😊 Still, they say ‘the camera never lies’. I suspect that was before we had Photoshop though!😉
