Over, Done, Complete. 1000miles


That's it. 1000miles done in 22 weeks. I can't quite believe it but it's actually true.

This morning I was joined by a nice crowd of fellow runners. Simon & Kate were here with their three girls, Paul was here with his two girls and Jamie arrived with George. Kate & Michael were here with Eva too. With Susan and our four that made a nice little number.
I'd done a 1.9 mile loop earlier to leave just 0.5miles. After a bit of coffee and chat we set off.

The pace was set by Jack, George and the older girls, 9 minute pace was just too slow.

The weather was fab and as we looped around Gilpin Green it was brilliant to see 3 year old Theo concentrating hard.

We arrived back at the finishing tape to see that Jack and the girls had decided I was too slow to be allowed to break it. Oh well, Niall would have agreed with that.

Bacon sandwiches, orange juice, tea and coffee flowed. The Proclaimers were playing in the background and the sun was shining. Perfect.
