So three weeks after Leeds with a weeks holiday and very little movement I decided to take on the Derby half.
This was a tough one, not because of the terrain etc but it was hot and I had just spent a week eating and drinking and doing nothing camping in wales.
The one good thing about this race is I got to complete it with my amazing friend Sharon, the one who inspired me to run in the first place. It’s not often we run together at events so it was nice to potter around and just talk a load of rubbish.
One of my slowest half’s today at 02.57.33 but I was happy to be in under 3 hours and to have company doing it. You forget when you run alone a lot how nice it is just have someone by your side.
I will definitely be hoping to return to this one and whilst I don’t stress over timings or normally try to beat my times I think next year this is one I’ll be looking at beating the time on.
