Story

I love raising money for Mercy in Action.

I'm also running this half marathon for a few other reasons.

I lived in Bath as a child, funnily enough near to where the Mercy in Action shop is now situated.

It's two days after my 27'th Birthday.

I was invited by my training buddy - who I don't think ran the race.

I've never ran 13.1 miles before today.

I'm never nervous and this morning I was (a little bit sick in the sink in fact).

I haven't trained as near as much as I'd have liked.

I'd go as far as saying I enjoyed it.

I smoked a cigarette immediately afterwards and it was heaven.

I processed and discharged a lot of emotional baggage.

My hips held up until mile 12 :D

I realised where my support network is.

I love my friends and family.

I ran 13.1 miles at the Bath Half on 3.3.2013.

I ran it in 2 hours, 23 Minutes and 51 seconds.
