In full: I'd forgotten how much fun running was, because of the Leeds Half Marathon there have been many more races since! I will most definately be doing it again this year! Thanks Leeds!

In short: My first ever half marathon; enjoyed it a lot, even if it was a sunny 25C! If you know Leeds, you may think the course is boring but I was surprised at some of the scenery. Kirkstall Abbey was great...
