Folkestone Half Marathon 25 September 2011

What a hot sunny day, a day for sunbathing on the beach not running a Half Marathon!! That was a tough race, it was too hot to run which I found a struggle.  It was great to see members of the running club along the route cheering me on.  At mile 9 my legs were feeling like jelly which I haven't felt before.  When I reached the water station, I was so glad to see Sue giving me some Lucozade which gave me some much needed energy.  Then there was Remembrance Hill to master, I was too tired to run up it and gave in and walked most of the way to the top.

Completed it in 2:09:48, was quite pleased with my time considering the heat.
