Well, it has
been emotional - far more emotional that I had anticipated if I’m honest. I
think that I had been focusing so much on the 10k part of the day, that when I
arrived at Blackheath and saw 1000 of women in a sea of pink, wearing the names
of loved ones lost, t-shirts with tributes to grandparents, friends, mum’s,
dad’s, children… the reality of the days events really hit home. Needless to
say I cried at various points along the course. Most of all I think at the 8km
marker as I passed a lady who was wearing a t-shirt with a picture of her
daughter which said:
‘For Maisey -
because today you would have been 13!’
I completed the course in 1hour 3minutes and 6seconds. I really am
thrilled with that time. Thank you for all your support and sponsorship! I
would definitely recommend the race for life and I will definitely be doing it
again.
