Amazing conditions for the Easy Runner Sodbury Slog this year – lots of mud and water under blue skies

This year with my OTP Brothers

Proud to be wearing my Cardiff Half Marathon shirt. That’s the #Diff done, now its time to keep the training going for next months Easyrunner Sodbury Slog. (best adventure race by far). This is a little local run from Warmley back to the Parish

“The Diff”

So after talking about it for many years I was encouraged by Ahab to sign up to run the Cardiff Half Marathon.

I set myself a goal of running sub 2 hours – The Diff was my first attempt at running the 13.1 miles so I wasn’t sure if it was “do-able”.

Cardiff is an amazing City and its sights distract you from the task of running (which is a good thing). The crowd support was massive. At points the crowd appeared to be 4-5 people deep.

Here is my video from inside the run.

The Diff:

I finished 7447 out of 21,000 runners and my official timing chip recorded a run time of-01:54:40

Get in….a time to beat when I run it again next year

An Epic weekend- Small waves on Saturday allowed for board japes and swapping, Sunday saw the arrival of the Sperrey’s, light winds and head-high waves, Monday was shoulder high & glass.

IT was also the death of my 7s – its tail got ripped off (*sad face)
