Hi Flick:wave:
Sorry I missed this for the last couple of days as been away in wet Wales.
WEll done!!! like others have said I'd have needed a bus, so you having to walk now and then due to heat is nothing!
..and so far I've received £40..
Thank you for doing it on behalf of Honeybunnies and a huge pat on the back for finding another race after you were too poorly for the first one.

Well done, I couldn't have walked it:lol: How are your feet? put them up today and relax you have earned it
Hi hunnybunny2007,
The last 3 miles yesterday were a real effort - I could have quite happily stopped and sat down, but I wouldn't have got going again!
Knees struggling a bit with stairs and getting up and down, but otherwise not bad, and amazingly no blisters! I've had blisters for much shorter runs before.
I even managed half an hours swim this morning Thought it would be good to loosen up without any impact as it's usually 2 days after I feels the worst! Will have to see how I go tomorrow!

Hi Capel, glad to hear they arrived ok and that the bunnies like them
And my 'In the long run' book arrived this week, so I'll be reading that soon
Thanks Rich & Doncat5!
Rich, I did it in 2 hours 25 min 18 seconds, under 2 and a half so I was pleased with than... went well until the last 3 miles and then it was quite an effort... probably due to not doing enough longer runs or any runs over 8.5 miles in training I know I should have done but didn't get around to it. Pleased I did ok until about 10 miles and at a good pace for me considering the heat... also meant I could walk/run for the last three miles and still finish in under 2 and a half :roll:
Just need to get up to doing those last 3 miles at the same pace for the next one now... Great North in October
