First ever event, Liverpool Half. Wish me luck!

Running the Liverpool half this Sunday. First running event I've entered.

I'm hoping for 2:10 - but whatever I get it's going to be a PB.

Very excited!

Probably a bit late for that! I am partial to a sugary treat.

Running just removes the guilt )

Had a wonderful weekend. I would recommend the Liverpool half, nice scenic route, quite flat and great atmosphere.

Ran a 2:12 which is fine by me, I didn't stop or walk any of it.

Now, what else can I enter

Congratulations,

I am really impressed as I remember reading that you had only ever trained on treadmill and years ago I entered a 5 k charity race feeling confident as I had ran more than that on treadmil and I ended up walking most of the race as i couldn't do the transition from treadmill to road.

I didn't start running again for more than a decade after that humiliation (at least that was my excuse).

I am glad you were more successful.
