I am overwhelmed to even imagine that this 51 year old could get a fantastic half marathon finishing time of just 2:02:41!!!! 3rd in my age category!
8.5 Laps of Battersea Park to complete the 13 miles was pretty tough, but my strategy of finding a couple of young people who were running slightly faster than my usual pace, and keeping up for as long as possible bagged me a superb finishing time. I kept up with the young ladies for 8 miles, then just persevered the final few laps.
A nice event and yet again not too far from home.
This is all part of my training for the London Marathon 2022, which is happening on October 2nd. I am excited and scared - it IS something I have always wanted to do, and never believed that I could.
It seems that I might just manage it!!!
