Results are in...

The results of the half marathon are in. I came 41st out of 704 competitors, with a time of 1h33m17s. I'm pleased with that. I hope to hit my £500 target for Rugby Young Carers soon.

My post-run post...

Had a great run this morning at the Emirates Golf Club. I completed the half marathon in approxmately 1hr33m, which I was very happy with. I came 46th out of 900 runners. Here's a pic at the finish line (pre-shower!) Here's a photo of me and my brother Paul, celebating. It was a really well-run race and the route was lovely, taking in some lakes and even abit of sand by the golf course. Being Dubai, the post-run breakast was sumptious, more like a wedding reception. See here. Thanks for sponsoring me!

Early doors

04:54... Up after a bad night's sleep of about 3 hours... Wish me luck!

In Abu Dhabi...

I've arrived in Abu Dhabi now where I'm visiting my brother, who works out here. Off to Dubai later. There's been a sandstorm but I'm told the weather should clear by the race tomorrow.

My interview about the run on BBC Coventry & Warwickshire radio

Clive Eakin of BBC Coventry & Warwickshire interviewed me about the run on Friday. You can listen to the interview here (23m10s onwards)

I also had my photo taken by the Rugby Observer (who thankfully ensured I looked suitably ridiculous, with Sudocrem smeared on my nose, a sun hat on and shades)...Should be in the paper on Thursday.

Running / pushing...

Did a 5.50 run this afternoon. Slower pace (please forgive me!) as was pushing the pushchair avec two little ones!
