HU Half marathon report

It was hard just because it was so hot! I set off after calf feeding (earlier would have been nice and cool in the mist!) I had chosen my scenic but hilly 10 mile route - with a new bit added and a extra bit past home to get to 13 miles. Going past home was hard but as with lots of times the sound track was perfect- the marathon theme then the don't give up now song 🀣 I lost the rungo app early on so sadly didn't get the whole Vancouver route. I did find it hard but loved it knowing we were all out together. It was a perfect sound track and I'd like to thank all who organised this. It was a great spring half. 🌞🎊

Well done Cowladyrunning, a HU VHM ticked off, and such lovely views along the way. The rape fields are beautiful right now and never fail to being a smile with their sunshine yellow.

Well done on your hilly HM. It's so hard to run past home when you are near the end of a run. I hope the beautiful views helped too. πŸŽ‰

I did discover accidently that if you click on the rungo link on Linda's post from a browser you can read the text so I feel I haven't missed out now!

firstly gorgeous pics and wish I could have done the calf feeding with you!!

I too loved the thought of us all doing the run together (albeit virtually in so many parts of the uk!) It sounds a great run, but a tough one!!πŸ’ͺ
