Half marathon

17th May was the SMH half-marathon! I've had bad knees since last (UK) summer so wasn't sure I'd ever be able to do this, but 5 months of slowly building the distance back up (and great runs discovering lots of areas of Sydney) paid off.

It was my first half- marathon and I was hoping to do it in around 2 hours, and in the end came in at just under 1.48 which was in top 15% of female finishers so really very pleased!!! Adam did amazingly too, especially since he hadn't been able to train much and got a bad stitch but still 1.37!

It was a brilliant atmosphere, around 10,000 people started, so very busy but only a few areas where the crowd was slowing us down. The route was 2 laps around the CBD, taking in all the sites.I definitely want to do more now... would like to try for a full marathon if I had enough time to dedicate to the training (btw congrats again Sam for the London!)

Here's me passing the Harbour bridgeAnd I should be somewhere in this crowd!
More pics if they leave them up...
