And it's finished! On Sunday I ran half marathon number 12 to complete my
challenge and I can't believe it has finished! The Santa run in Wellingborough was more of a fun run and was hilarious seeing everyone dressed in their various Santa costumes! There were some others as well, like the Santa and reindeer combined! Not sure how they managed that ... There was a delay at the start as some annoying people stole some of the markers so the organisers had to put new ones out and stand out there themselves. A shame really.
Despite this, the atmosphere between the runners was fantastic with people encouraging each other. The winner wasn't wearing anything Christmassy so I think that's cheating! Overall in the race I came 4th which I am extremely happy with :) got a bit stuck at the start but caught a few up and finished well, I think knowing it was the last few miles of the challenge spurred me on.
The course was a bit short of the half marathon distance at 10.77 miles due to the signpost stealing but it didn't take away from the race. A great and fun end to an amazing 12 in 12 in 2012 challenge, extended due to my broken foot!
One more blog entry to come at the weekend ... A summary of the whole thing!
