Story

Hello!

I've done it! I finished the Brighton half marathon. It took me 2 hours 58 minutes, and I came 4595th out of the 5500 people who entered, of whom only 4613 people actually finished.

So why so slow you may ask? Well for the past month I have been suffering from a knee injury which makes it painful to run past one mile. So no suprise that on the day after a mile it started to ache, after 3 it started to hurt, by 7 I was in a lot of pain, and by 9 I was walking. However I did walk, hobble, and run to finish line, and completed the course in quite considerable pain.

I've made the effort, please do the same by donating to cancer research UK below.

Thanks,

Geoff
