What a Great Day
What a great day it turned out to be last Saturday. After looking at the weather forecast the night before it looked like I would be doing it in the rain but prayers were answered and the day started grey but dry and brightened up as the day went.
8.45am and I am off on the first lap, set my normal pace and was going well, took my first short rest after 4 laps, met the first of many people from CancerCareline that were there selling Welsh Cakes and a cup of tea, ( Thank you Brace's Bread for donating the Welsh Cakes).
Halfway through and still feeling good, my daughter joins me for a few laps so I pick up the pace as she is jogging, by now quite a few friends from church are there and give lots of very loud cheers as I go by.
About 2.30pm I only had 4 laps left to go, so I told family and friends that I will just carry on and see how far I could get but my sister nagged me to stop at 20 laps, after a short debate we agreed I could do 2 extra laps, so 22 laps, 28 miles, 8hrs later I stopped to big cheers from all there.
I was surprised how good I felt, I could have gone on much longer, however, glad I didn't because 30 mins later the rain fell down.
Thank you to all my family and friends for your support and encouragement, it meant a great deal on the day and now!
