We did it!

I'm sandwiched between my two lovely nieces (and that's their cousin on the left of the picture). We all completed the Great North Run half marathon today. My leg/hip held it together until almost mile 11 but then I had to walk for a bit. Managed to run through the pain on the last mile across the sea front to collect my medal and finishers pack, and a massage in the charity village helped enormously after the end! Determined to get my joints and muscles fitter next year and protect my body. Really overdid it this year and didn't put in the correct amount of strength work resulting in my injury. Bring on 2018 GNR!
