Thank you Cardiff what an incredible event!!
Absolutely LOVED the Cardiff half yesterday so much amazing support. Just a real sense of connection and community just random people cheering you on 💪
My training was sporadic at best and I had not done any runs for 4 weeks with a leg injury. I knew I had to get to 15k and then just hang on... 😆 The last few miles were deeply painful, but that beautiful Welsh crowd and Tom on the side got me there. Actually rather tearful to finish 🙏
Then the obligatory pint, body weight in pizza and Tiramisu and a lift home in Ant's lovely new car, absolute result!
If you fancy donating to Marie Curie to reward my efforts it would be amazing. I've smashed my target... Long story short.... On my way to Shambala a guy drove into me, his car was far worse off than Dennis the van. The bump he did was almost insignificant to the scratch I'd already done in the door 😅 so I told him not to worry... He wanted to donate to a charity on my behalf so I sent him my fundraising link.... Check out how generous Peter Camper-Bender is 🙏😂
The average human is just really lovely, thank you for that reminder Cardiff 🙏 now to try and get out for bed 🤪
