We did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was BRILLIANT! We all got round the gruelling 26.2mile course on a baking hot day in one piece.

Mike and Dave stayed together the whole way to cross the line in 4hrs 48mins with Anna just behind clocking in at 5hrs 15mins.

The April sun brought out the crowds and we enjoyed amazing support all the way round.

When things got a bit tough we would take a detour through one of the run-through-showers or grab handfulls of jelly babies from the supporters lining the streets.

A truly unforgetable experience and we've raised over 15 grand (yes 15 grand!) for the British Heart Foundation.

Ready to go

Race day this Sunday and things have come together nicely.

We've jointly clocked up over 1000km in training runs, 13 grand in sponsorship money so far and have all recovered from our various injuries + illnesses.

Time to wind down the training and start munching pasta!

Silverstone Half Marathon

Check out Dave's 1h53m + Anna's 2h20m at the Silverstone Half Marathon. Both were Personal Best times!
An injured Mike, Anna and Jake provided support from the sidelines.
Also running were Dave and Charlotte de la Pena.

Berkhamsted Half Marathon

Mike put in a gallant effort at the Berkhamsted Half Marathon to get a personal best time of 1hour 57min 19secs.
His running mates Ant (left - 1h50m) and Dave (right - 1h58m) helped keep him going on the hilly countryside route.

Running In A Winter Wonderland

There's snow stopping us now!

Oh Dear.....

We had hoped to get a bit further into our training before succumbing to injury. Anna twisted her knee on a ski-ing holiday, Mike's cold is begining its 3rd week and Dave has a rather sore ankle after a truly heroic 30km training run. Luckily none is too serious and we hope to be back on track in a week or two.

Surprisingly for December, it was actually a very nice day for an off-road muddy race through trenches of freezing cold water.
