racing and pacing and plotting the course
i finished in about 2:13. i take ten minutes off that time which was spent waiting for the loo at mile four. (the one gripe i have about the organisation of the race is that there were nowhere near enough toilets! they had us using the parks public toilets, which with 6 stalls for the women, was just a disaster.)
it was a warm, sunny, beautiful day, and i felt fantastic the whole way through. i ran the last three miles flat out, just feeling stronger and stronger. i had the *best* playlist, which kept me going.
a few pics from j’s mobile (sorry if they’re skew! taking photos while running is harder than i thought!)
thanks again to all those who sponsored me – it really lifted my spirits during the race to know how many people believed in this cause!
this song has nothing to do with anything, except that it kicked in at mile 12 and sent me flying
phantom planet – do the panic

Right on man.
Hey, can I borrow some money? £500 should be enough, but we can round up to £550 if that’s easier.
