My story

 

We did it!  There are also a couple of photos of us in action if you click through, fairly late on in the run which is my excuse for looking a little tired!

After the months of training it was all over in 2 hours 15 mins.  Not bad for our first half marathon.

What really helped to spur us on was knowing how much we were raising for charity.  I didn't want to let anyone down, including myself, Pete (having to stay at my pace), all our well wishers and of course all the dogs at Greyhound Gap.  I had been so nervous the week beforehand, worried that I wouldn't be able to do it for any number of reasons.

We couldn't have asked for nicer weather.  Apart from sore feet on the day and a few sore joints on Monday we are virtually back to normal (if that's possible!) and I have already started investigating marathon training schedules...

Thank you so much to everyone who's sponsored us.  This means a lot to us and the staff and dogs at Greyhound Gap.

Looks like the sun is going to shine on you! Good Luck x Donation by Nicola Redmore 12/09/09
