Doing my first Half Marathon, which helped to raise over Β£2K for charity along with work colleagues, makes it one of my proudest personal achievements! βΊοΈ
At least this was not won by First Past The Post! π

So pleased to have smashed my previous PB by 5 minutes at the Great Birmingham Run half marathon yesterday! π Perfect running conditions this year #GreatBirminghamRun
Very, very satisfied with these splits for a first Half Marathon. ππ½
The slowest bit no doubt was between 15K-19K and perhaps I should have used a gel during that point.
Thinking about it, no gel usage in a Half debut feels incredible.

Challenging run in the blazing sun at #GreatBirminghamRun half marathon today, so only managed to scrape a PB by 5 seconds! Great atmosphere again along the route πββοΈ π
I'd got the impression from Theresa May that running commentaries were inappropriate. Twitter hasn't got that message #GreatBirminghamRun
