Doing my first Half Marathon, which helped to raise over £2K for charity along with work colleagues, makes it one of my proudest personal achievements! ☺️

At least this was not won by First Past The Post! 😜

So pleased to have smashed my previous PB by 5 minutes at the Great Birmingham Run half marathon yesterday! 🎉 Perfect running conditions this year #GreatBirminghamRun

Very, very satisfied with these splits for a first Half Marathon. 👊🏽

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 🏃‍♀️ 🎉

I'd got the impression from Theresa May that running commentaries were inappropriate. Twitter hasn't got that message #GreatBirminghamRun
