In short: What can I say? - WOW!!!!!!
In full: My first ever half marathon. I was running in memory of a loved one so it was going to be emotional and must admit I felt like I was staring up at everest on sunday morning! But the music beforehand, the red arrows flying overhead got me going and I somehow ran it all!! I faltered at mile 9 but some lovely lady grabbed my arm and shouted keep going!! All that along with the boost zone and the guy with the hose ensured I got round! Not a great time but since it was my first it was a pb!! It was hard to keep the tears from falling when I got on to the sea front and I really felt like I had done something special - hard not to feel like that when you are running alongside 50,000 others all with their own story to tell! Puts your faith back in human nature!! The travel problems and the queues just faded into the background for me after that!
