2 hours and 4 minutes. There’s quite a few things that you could in that time. Watch a film, clean the bathroom, eat a nice meal. But are any of them as rewarding as running 13.1 miles cheered on as though you’re a celebrity… if there is I’m yet to discover it.
On Sunday I completed my first half-marathon – the Great Eastern Run in Peterborough. While the magical sub 2 hours target escaped me, I’m very pleased with my performance. I had stomach cramps from mile 10 but managed to carry on and not walk even one step.
Having family a friends to wave me on made a real difference. I’ll be back next year to try and shave off those 4 minutes.
