First and foremost I would like to say a big thank you to all of you who supported me! Whether you generously made gifts or sent me encouraging emails, Facebook and text messages! I truly and sincerely appreciate any and every effort you’ve made! Your presence has been motivating me to go for a run after work, when I was hungry, tired, it was dark and cold. Thank You!
It means you care for people, for those fragile women who are being abused and used; and desire to bring goodness in their lives, change their awful tormenting nonexistent living so they would Believe in people again, so they would regain Hope and their Hearts would See the light in the nearest future.
About the Half marathon.
Oh my goodness how much I enjoyed running it! Seriously! I couldn’t erase the smile of my freezing face for 12 miles! Huh? Did I say 12? Did you know that Half marathon is 13,1 mile? Oh yes!!! The last mile was tough! But somehow I managed to speed up! Curious about my time? I did it in 2:06:42!!! Did I hear someone cringe just now?? Rude! Haha My first and last half marathon was Dirt Half marathon (in 2010) and I did it in 2:15, so I’m well pleased!!!! I met great people! So smiley and friendly. I guess it helped that I was walking with a smirk too! I made a little friend too, perhaps she was 10 months J We kept looking at each other and laughing J
So.. I met two bunnies (they didn’t have white puffy tails!! How sad!), donkey, dogs (real ones) and... I think that’s it.
My dear friend Steve who I was running this race with came 24th! He finished it in 1:26! I saw him run- without realising what I was doing I increased my speed and then suddenly got a grip that soon I will have to unzip my small pocket and get an energy gel! So I was wise and slowed down! A big well done to Steve!
Running on the beach was great! We were warned about the ice, but what I found was mud. Such fun!
I had a few running buddies but either they stayed behind (which means I was faster haha!) or I stayed behind.. (didn’t happen too often.. I think... ). It was very warm to run, in fact, perfect weather for that!
Anyhow, here are some pictures! My photographer Amy was ill, therefore instead of the professional photos we have iPhone photos!
Bless you all!!!!
