I completely forgot about number 6!

My second half marathon was trained for and completed, and I forgot to blog about it!!  It feels like ages ago now, but I managed to beat last year's time by over 15 minutes, and even managed a sprint finish for the last 100 metres of the 13.1 miles.  Here's a pic of me with my medal after the race.

This time I ran for Stroke Association and the just giving site is still live if you feel like donating to a fantastic cause.  On the morning of the race I discovered I had no safety pins to attach my race number to my t-shirt.  My Delicious Freak badges came in very handy :)

Very happy with having improved my time and felt fantastic after the race.  Unfortunately most of the good work put in has now disappeared under a layer of beer and good cheer, but I'll be training for the next big thing soon :)

If anyone fancies training with me and is local  to me, give me a shout, the loneliness of the long distance runner isn't just the title of a book!
