Elaine Emerton
I did my first half-marathon last Sunday. It wasn’t fast and it wasn’t pretty, but I did it. Alongside that, I’ve knocked almost 3 minutes off my Parkrun time and now I’m setting my sights on knocking off a further 3+ minutes to get a sub-30 time. I also want to knock 22 minutes off my half-marathon time in my next race in October. If someone had said last year that I’d be setting these as ambitions now, I’d have laughed at them. Now I know I will achieve them.
