Hi all,
I don’t often post here, and probably haven’t been seen much on HU since the days of the 2020 HU autumn virtual half marathon I completed way back in September 20. During that event I connected with a number of people as part of the Strava group that was set up. It has been interesting and motivating to watch everyone’s progress since then. I’d like to thank everyone who has ‘kudoed’ and especially for the kind and encouraging comments.
In the middle of last year I joined the local running club (a friendly bunch, even if the majority are much faster than me!) and I finally got round to running my first official race in club colours on Sunday. That was my first half marathon after the 2020 virtual one, and I’m pleased to say I actually made it round in a shade over 2:12 — more than 8 minutes faster than last time.
It’s sooo much more fun running with other people and, although nothing beats “in person” interaction, I’m very grateful for the virtual running buddies I’ve met through this forum, even if I may never meet any of you in person!
