Since signing up for the Bournemouth half marathon in mid August I have pulled on my running shoes on 28 separate occasions. I have run 205 kilometres in all kinds of weather – thunderstorms, blistering heat – and at all times of the day. I have run down Oliver’s Road countless times, tapping the green tub at the bottom before turning back up. I have lost nearly 5kg / 11lb in weight. And now I am in the final week. I will be lining up on the start line with thousands of others at 11am on Sunday 8th October, 2023. The weather forecast is for clear skies and temperature of 17-19 degrees celsius. I am excited, but nervous. My time looks like its going to be somewhere between 2 hours 15 mins and 2 hours 45 mins.
Donations to Macmillan Cancer Support are currently at an amazing £315. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this total. This is the link to my JustGiving page for anyone who would like to add their support to this worthy cause. My target is £500, so your contribution however small will help me to reach this.
The course runs from Hengistbury Head and finishes at Bournemouth Pier. If you are in the area, why not pop down and enjoy the atmosphere and amazing views across Bournemouth Bay and cheer me on?
