It was great to get out in Richmond Park with Kingston Chamber of Commerce Netwalking group departing Kingston Gate meeting brilliant Kingston business owners walk and talk and pack in an extra 12k training session around the park with my dogs for my #kingstonhalfmarathon .. beautiful warm weather and great company made it a perfect morning!
Then on Sunday 22nd the day of the Mayor’s Kingston Half Marathon arrived! In beautiful sunshine we left the start line striking out from the heritage Kingston Marketplace, did a beautiful riverside loop before heading over Kingston Bridge and down Barge Walk to Hampton Court on to Thames Ditton and back along Surbiton's Queens Promenade ... with lovely Julia of Brite Box, Voices of Hope who kept me running with the 2 30 pacer ... And we hit the finish line with official 2 hrs 27 min 16 secs ... with our RBK Mayor to congratulate us! And both my lovely girls too!
It was a privilege to support Kingston Charitable Foundation and Mayor of Kingston upon Thames charities. Thank you to everyone who supported me raising over £1000 for Kingston Charitable Foundation and Voices of Hope the @Mayorscharitabletrust and kept me going to the finish line with the 2 30 pacer when truly I would have walked the last few miles! You kept me going thank you!
