What a Beautiful Day! | |||
Images from the Ealing Half Marathon
Well it happened and I did it. I'm now shell shocked and in recovery mode, so will write a bit more fully about the experience very soon - when I can function once more! But, what a day. The music I was listening to (from U2) on the way to Lammas Park seemed to sum it all up. It was a truly beautiful day. I'm no runner and just hoped I could get round the 13.1 mile circuit and - yay, I did - but just look and see how impressive the real runners did see results here. Many thanks to those who came out to support along the route - it really did help. Ealing you did us proud. A big mention to Kelvin Walker and all the Ealing Eagles running group and organisers who made this inaugural Ealing Half Marathon a truly fantastic and beautiful day. Who cares if I was beaten by a gorilla?!
The runners funnel - a mass of bodies waiting to go!
So those of you who wanted to but couldn't or didn't - next one is only 12 months away - LOADS of time to get training. If I can get round - anyone can. Just do it!
