It was SO SO HOT out there!
Highlights of the Kings Head Canter:
Seeing my chums from running club I hadn't seen since April
Gorgeous route and scenery
Fabulous people out there
Being cheered home by my famileeeeeeeeeeeeee
Snaffling 'my' free banana (I don't eat bananas) and giving it to my dad
Having my pint of Diet Coke
Not feeling disappointed that I didn't get the time I thought I wanted. Turns out I didn't care!
The fact that nobody ran over Mr S. His favourite vantage point for any photograph tends to be ground level - he has an alarming habit of lying in the road
Lowlights
My personal trainer didn't make it (he was registered and had been hoping for sub-15)
It's hard to run when you're wrapped up in the volume of metaphorical cotton wool my husband saw fit to wrap me in
My new Libre sensor was/is being completely cr*pulous
The need for an ambulance for the guy who had paced me all the way round and who I overtook in the last 300m (I think he's fine - he seemed okay when I passed him but he collapsed at the finish line)
The fact I needed to stop and walk twice (it was SO HOT)
32.21. Undulating course, roads weren't closed, long long long hills..... Don't care! Flipping loved it.
My brother snapped this. Looks like I was enjoying myself, even though it was hard work!
