First Half Marathon...I won!!!

Hehehe, on Sunday we volunteered to help out with the Vancouver First Half Marathon.....13.5 miles around the city! When we awoke at 5am on sunday morning i think both of us were wondering exactly why we had volunteered for this....and i got the blame as it had been my idea...!!!! Mark was working at the start line, setting up and lining the road, I was helping at the finish (just around the corner), with water set up. To start with things seemed a bit poorly organised....but soon everything started taking shape....and what we had both been doubting turned into a great morning!!! We were able to watch the start of the race, and......i decided it was such a beautiful day that i should get in the spirit of things and run myself.......and look......i won!!!! hehehehee - fastest time - 50 minutes!!! hehehehhe Boy did i need that water! I was glad i had my handbag with my all the way round too!!!!! hehehehe Mark ended up setting up the PA for the whole event, and enabling the Canadian National Anthem to be sung! So he really found his niche! It was nice to hear the Anthem too - it was the first time we had!!! All in all an enjoyable morning, well worthwhile, we would do it again! xxxx p.s. and the free Capers food was lovely!!! (Capers are a gorgeous organic food store!) p.p.s. It was FREEZING!!!
