Looking back on a half marathon

I originally posted this on 2 November 2012. Its a video and a few pictures of the Preston Guild half-marathon I completed. 2 years later and I can still vividly remember the torrential rain and the sight of people collapsing after the race. I’ve still not worked out why I did the jazz hands at the end though! I still feel like doing another half or maybe a full marathon. One day.

I didn’t take any photos on the day, but I found some on the web. For starters a YouTube video of the start.

These two pictures were taken at about the three mile mark. © Steve Hodgson Photo’s

And me crossing the finish line. Why I did that with my hands I’ll never know!

My finishers medal, a bit more colour would have been nice.
