Woke up this morning and the weather didn't look good - heavy rain was forecast, but fortunately it cleared by start time - 10.00a.m. - and the run was going very well until the final mile when it might have been better opting for swimming gear as we were hit by a torrential downpour. Nevertheless, we crossed the finishing line in a creditable time of 1h 39m 25s - a PB for Rachel. Thank you for all your support, and your donations have gone a long way to helping us reach our target.
As you can see, I finally managed to get round to doing the "replacement" half-marathon to make up for the Salomon Richmond Half on 18th March 2018, which was cancelled due the extremely bad weather (if you can remember back that far!) Of course, that was followed by a lengthy period of the complete opposite, with temperatures up to 34°C, which is not conducive to pleasant distance running even very early in the morning.
Unfortunately, due to the extreme weather, the Salomon Richmond Half-Marathon has had to be cancelled. I will need to wait until after the weekend to find out if the running fees can be transferred to another event in the coming weeks. If not, I plan to do a personal half-marathon when the weather improves - no sense in letting all that training go to waste.
David and Rachel, raising funds for St Theresa's School in Uganda, completed the Cabbage Patch 10-mile run, crossing the finishing line together in a time of 1h 39m 02s – a PB for Rachel.
Sending the best of luck to the P.7 candidates 2017 at St Theresa's school as they are the first students to sit for final exams.
