<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>Well, we did it! (That's daughter Flo and me) Official position - 10,293rd. Official time 2h 51m 23s. Not fast but it was a bit on the warm side and even the winner only managed to knock 8 seconds off the course record! All the training paid off though, because apart from having slightly achey legs this morning (the day after), I feel great. Thank you so much for all your support and encouragement. Would I do it again?...</p>
<p>YES!</p>
<p>The back story - Having been persuaded about 18 months ago to do the 'Stoke Stampede', a 10k Boxing Day run in my village, I was in the midst of my 250km of training runs (!!) for my second in 2011 when my daughter said, "Daddy, why don't we do the Bath Half?" To my astonishment, I found myself saying, "Oh, ok then!" So here I am raising funds for St Mungo's and getting a bit fitter and thinner in the process.</p>
