If you followed the trials and tribulations of our 2017 challenge to run 12 half marathons in 12 months – here is a little update……………… We have had a bit of a rest from the half marathons – January and February off – and I have to confess to rather missing them. So tomorrow (weather permitting – it promises to be freezing) we return to the starting pen – this time for the Hastings Half Marathon (hard and hilly).
But last night was Heathfield Road Runners AGM and awards night. And Gill and I are now living proof that running awards are not all about youth (well not in my case anyway) or speed. I think it is fair to say that we were both absolutely delighted to share the club’s award for Female Performance of the year.
We didn’t run the half marathons for an award – we ran them for fun (yes Gill we did!!) – but the award was the icing on the cake. And the reason? Because it confirmed for me what I have always believed about running and runners. That anyone can do it. And the running community is just the best – you are welcomed and your achievements celebrated whoever you are and however you run…………….
So if there is anyone out there still on the couch…………………
Hastings half marathon – bring it on!!

Now that the half marathon challenge is over, what is next? Any other challenges on the horizon?

Just to keep running this year – a few races and trying to cover 1000 miles! And hoping to get a place in the 2019 London Marathon for my 60th birthday! Love your blog – good to see so many runners out there!

Good luck with London. I got in the lottery for this year, but didn’t get in. I think the chances are only about 10% or so. Thanks for visiting!
