Great Run Birmingham

What a brilliant day! I'd had a bit of a rough week so had no expectations of what I would be able to do but I was hoping to stick to 12 minutes per mile which I knew would give me a time of 2:37:30, meaning I would be 5 minutes quicker than at Bristol. I started well, reached 2 miles in 21 minutes which meant I was going a little fast for me but I felt good. As is usual, by mile 8 my energy levels had gone way down and I slowed up a bit, losing the advantage I had gained. Who would have thought there would be hills in Birmingham, but mile 10 to 11.5 were tough! From there I pushed like I never had before and finished in a time of 2:36:59, which I was ecstatic with! So that's my three halves completed in six weeks for the Alzheimer's Society in memory of my lovely Dad, who came from Brum which made it all rather emotional. Hope you enjoyed it Dad, I know I did :) x
