Highlights of your race – What did you do well and enjoy about your race in particular?
Being able to complete the run. In January, I injured myself and had 3.5months off running and to finally be back run/walk was so great. I had originally signed up to do the half marathon and so even being able to just do this short run is a big step forward in my recovery. Running it with my 26yr old daughter was fun and we were running in the rain and jumping in the puddles.
