I wasn't expecting a fantastic time today going in recovering from a bug, a week without a run and my self dislocating toes! We made it to the adjusted start line (eventually Ron found the right spot...) and I was with 2 other ladies I either knew or had spoken to before the race. The race was started by fell racing legend Joss Naylor and the 3 of us set off at a good pace.
The field started to stretch as we hit the first of the climbs and then there were just 2 of us together. She is running a half marathon tomorrow mad lady and was much more experienced than me. This helped me get through the first 5 km in a decent time but I was finding it tough in the heat so I let her carry on without me and went at a slower pace. To be honest I did a fair amount of walking on the return leg!
