Post EMF Half

After starting running about a year ago and running my first ever 10km race last October (the Bupa Great Edinburgh), I completed my first half marathon today.

My target was to get as close to the 2hr mark as possible and would have been ecstatic to get under that, but a pee stop (with a queue to use the loo) around the 10km mark, and having to stop & walk a few times (due to the heat) cost me some time. As it was, I finished in 2:04:29 - not too bad considering.

That's me on the far left, with some folk that I used to work with (in the middle), and one that I still work with (on the right). It was a great day for it, and I actually quite enjoyed the run.
