Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon

10/10/2010

An article from Mark Jackson:

Just to let you know that I ran the Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon in London yesterday.

12,500 people at the event.

It was a beautiful day with great views of Buckingham Palace, the Royal Albert Hall, Houses of Parliament and the London Eye.

Twelve people ran for the local J's Hospice so a good turnout for the charity.

Thank you for the support from Braintree club members.

My legs felt heavy on the run.

I stayed with the 1.50 pace setter for about 10 miles, then was dropped a little, arriving at the finish in 1 hour 52 min.

Anyone doing it next year will have to put up with the tightness of the paths making it a bit difficult sometimes.
