Great day, a lovely 1st official HM run. Wonderful support along the course.

I won a ballot place which gave me the push to do this. I decided to run for the Alzheimer’s Society in memory of my Mum. The messages of support from friends and family were great

It was a cold start to the run, took 10K before my fingers warmed up. I started off too quickly running the 1st 10K in under 1 hr. I slowed down a little took time for water and some jelly babies Finished in 02:09:27 which I was amazed by. The 02:10 pacer passed me with 200m to go which gave me an energy boost. Next time I might follow them to maintain a more even pace.

Super time and bet it was a brilliant race. Jenni Falconer talks about this one a lot on her podcast and it sounds great how they have all the history on info boards there...

Thanks, it was a great run. I have worked in the city so had the added advantage of spotting previous offices.

Fab photo! Congratulations on a great Half Marathon. LLHM do give suitably rewarding bling don't they 😍 Despite thinking you started too fast, you obviously managed that well to be able to finish with such a good time. Great job!!!

'Next time ...' - that says it all 🥰
