I have done it!
Thanks to all those who sponsored me and waited when I failed to do the Reading one.
The weather forecast was dreadful for today, but the rain kept off. I did it in 2 hours 43 minutes and 24 seconds, which is better than I expected.
I was 1310th out of 1328 runners. The slowest time was 2 hours 59 minutes and 38 seconds.
Please note - I can't change the event on the page- but this is now THE CHIPPENHAM HALF MARATHON on 15th September 2013.
Unfortunately after 10 months of training, and being all ready for the event, I was too ill to run it on the date.
Nothing else has changed I am still running it in memory of my father:
Ronald Ernest Pottinger:
Born in London 17/07/1922
Died in Truro 04/02/1979
He would have been in his 91st year, but died much too soon.
I am still supporting the British Heart Foundation-it is just set back 6 months.
