It was a tad warm πŸ˜… but there was a breeze in places ... we ran it all πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜…πŸ˜… running and trying to drink water is quite tricky I’ve discovered so I poured some down my back instead! We all ran it .. my three children and my niece (pictured)

It was warm but there was a breeze (felt like a fan heater) but it did help πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜ŽπŸ˜Ž

So well done Bridget. You look in the pink. Gorgeous and your niece too. Lovely breeze today despite the heat. Hope you’ve got a little celebration planned for later with a pink rose for your mum 😘

Thank you 😊 I was still saying this morning I think I’ll walk ... then by the time I had read everyone’s signs on their backs of who they were racing for and dried my eyes I thought what’s a bit of heat! I think I might have a glass or two tonight πŸ₯‚πŸ˜€

Brilliant, Bridget!! Super run and super, super cause. And that parasol looks pretty darned spiffy.

Dry your eyes and get the corkscrew, hon xx

Sounds amazing. I am doing the RFL Worcester 15th July, really looking forward to just being a part of it. I was lucky RFL let me change as I was going to do the Solihull one 2 weeks ago but that was when I ended up on IC. So glad you had a great day :) :)

You will love it the atmosphere is lovely and quite emotional I’m not really a weepy person but I had to wipe my eyes quite a few times before we started running seeing who everyone was doing the race for so when I was running there was no way I was going to stop. I hope you have a lovely day 😊

Well done! I have got mine tomorrow. Last time I did it (2011) my Dad was in remission but unfortunately he died in 2012. So running for him ❀️ it really does open your eyes when you see just how many people have been affected by cancer.

Your dad will be looking down and will be so proud ... it is a very emotional day when you have lost loved ones or have had anyone touched by it. I hope it’s not too hot for you xx
