My story

 
Finished at last - its taken a bit longer to get here than I anticipated. After the disapointment of missing the London marathon through injury to my back it took 2 months to get back to running. This would not allow me time to run the full Robin Hood marathon in Nottingham so I decided to try and run a half marathon pb (personal best) in Jim's favourite race. The Robin Hood half marathon was on Sunday 16th September - with 10,000 runners on a sunny day down by the embankment. I achieved a pb of 1:24 to finish 106th (17th in my age group) a result with which I am very pleased. Legs a bit sore today though! Half the raised money will be used by Pancreatic Cancer UK to fund research, and I have given £2000 to Ward E15 at the QMC where Jim was a patient (our pancreatic cancer ward) which we have used to buy 6 special reclining chairs for patients. Thank you all for your generous donations - I will run the London Marathon next year anyway (automatic entry for injury) and am planning another Charity run in 2009 - something a bit longer, hotter and hillier!!
