Tuesday 31st Mar
I’ve just recently completed my first half-marathon distance training run! It went well, a beautiful sunny day along a new route and I saw the best bits of the city. My expected time is 2 hours, and I ran it in just over that with a lot of energy to spare. Looking very good for a sub 2 hour race!

Thank you to my sponsors
