Story

Hi Everyone

Pictorial evidence . . . I completed the half marathon in 2hrs 1min and came 3837th out of 6648, either their technology is faulty or my body let me down a bit!?  We kept at a steady pace whilst grabbing at occasional water and lucozade supplies (I managed to miss the lucozade every time so persuaded my sis to share hers!) A few miles in we ran past a church where music was playing and a crowd cheered us along, so I wondered if the Lord would be with me from this point forward as I was beginning to get a bit tired....... We had a couple of new waves of energy in the last  two miles through bedsit land; some students had a speaker booming out "eye of the tiger" so we were able to run for the next ten minutes feeling like "Rocky", sadly this started to wear off but along came a runner who motivated us all with a mass-ensemble of "oggy-oggy-oggy"!.  Had to leave my sister for the last mile as I had to keep the rhythm going and she was having an energy problem and gradually slipped further back till I couldn't see her anymore, but she was only a few minutes behind me. 

I'll be chasing everyone for money now I've shed the sweat and had the aches and pains.  A HUGE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS SPONSORED ME ALREADY.

Its not too late if you want to sponsor me retrospectively, you can still DAB into your purses and DAB in and sponsor me for DAB!! (cheesy line alert!)

The money we raise will make a huge difference to the lives of visually impaired people across Derbyshire.

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
