First Half Marathon Race

Completed my first Half Marathon (13.1 miles) today in 1hr 53mins which is under the 2 hours I was aiming for. Tough race with lots of runners (2000) my finish place was 1211 so not too shabby for a beginner.

It's given me confidence that I might be able to run under 4 hours on the big day but the thought of running twice as far as today is very scary.

I'm over the £1,000 mark for MENCAP which is excellent. Again thank you to all those who have sponsered me. If you haven't it's not too late :O)
