November:
- I entered the Norwich half marathon
- I hurt my leg a week before the race so was nervous about how it would hold up
- It snowed the night before the race. Beautiful but chilly!
- The race was outside the city in the rural areas around Norwich
- It was so cold when I parked up before the race I had to stay in the car for 30 minutes
- I bought emergency gloves at the start pen
- The course was stunning and the weather was dry (albeit) cold
- My leg felt a little tight but no where near as painful as it had done the week before
- The last mile was tough (as it was a circle around the showground back to where we started)
- I crossed the line in 52nd place out of 23,335 in a time of 1 hour 23 minutes 6 seconds
- I was pleased with that
- I celebrated (prematurely the night before) and post race with some of my parents friends from our
time in Greece. A nostalgic and lovely time was had by all. Loved it.
Finish line:
The last mile (waving in emergency gloves)
Post celebrations with Mary and Neville:
December:
- The annual Santa Dash in Liverpool
- Red vs Blue Santas for the Liverpool V Everton fans
- I wore red again
- My sister wore blue again
- My niece wore a red suit and a blue hat. She knows how to please us both!
- I pushed Jessica in the buggy. She thought we as a group were too slow at times!
- It was super fun
- I love the city
- I love my family who run with my (and those supporting on the sidelines)
- We had a brilliant get together afterwards where I ate too many bacon sandwiches (or butties if I
am to be properly Scouse) and cake
- My phone broke from the rain during the run
- I missed my train back to London (luckily the last one was only an hour later)
- It is one of my favourite days of the year and I cannot wait for 2016 already
Ready (although Jessica said I looked like nobody when I asked who I resembled?!)
Let's dash!
Little niece!
