Awesome, spectactular, emotional, cold, wet and windy. I wouldnt have missed the experience for anything and cant wait to enrol for next year.
The crowds were enormous in spite of the weather and gave us "runners" so much encouragement. I had my name on the number bib and a card in memory to Ed on my back. Spectators called me by name to keep going, that i could do it, and it really helped. Other runners were…
The beaverbrook 10k went well in spite of being soaked to the skin at the start! Plodded on and finished in 93 minutes which was better than I expected. I broke down and cried at the end of the race wishing Ed could be with me for a hug.
