we did it!

Postby pollR78 » 15 Jun 2014, 17:18

today Amy and I completed 10K Race for Life in Edinburgh, first time we have done 10K - last year we done 5K and I done it a few times before I had Amy.

Am proud of myself but even more proud of Amy for completing this, most of us have been touched by this horrid disease, i have lost many loved ones and am thankful my aunt went into Remission last year, I pray it stays that way, also found out a friends partner was diagnosed yesterday, so today I felt very emotional.

Just wanted to share this with you all, am feeling so tired, feet ache but was worth it! We completed it in 1hr 45 :D
*edit to say 1hr 45 minutes not seconds - i did say i was tired lol *

It's still a fabulous time Poll - and having Amy walking with you too given she's only 9.

Well done again. xx

Super super well done to the two of you - esp Amy. You both deserve a nice hot relaxing bath and an evening of doing absolutely nothing. Well done!
