Ran in the Women's mini-marathon Sunday 27th. It's very much a fun run/walk attended by lots of buddies in matching charity t-shirts. My running-mate got injured in a match a few days before so I headed down alone and felt very much like 'billy-no-mates'. Managed to squash towards the front of the crowd to get near-ish to the 'real' runners but still overtook a buggy a few seconds into the race.
I'm used to seeing mile markers but as this was more of an event the signs appeared at '2 + 1/4 to go', '1 + 3/4 to go' - it was like something from Harry Potter. Very strange and kinda condescending to runners. 'Get over yourself' I thought to myself when thinking this - for the majority of participants it was a fun day out.
Having gotten used to the style of Ballycotton & BHAA this was a very strange run & definitely not a mini-marathon... At least I got my miles in!
