Napier Pak n Save Half Marathon

Thanks to everyone who wished me well in for the half marathon. I completed it (whew) in a good time. I bet my last time by 7 minutes. Doesn't sound much but think about trying to catch someone who is 7 minutes ahead of you. I completed the marathon in 2 hours 42 minutes. Really pleased.
Rose West was at the half way mark along The Esplande at Westshore with oranges. She ran a block with me. Pam O'Connor was at the finish line with roses. She was a little disappointed because I bet her there.
Here was I collasped on the ground and my name comes over the loud speaker. Others who I was with reckoned it was because I had been caught cheating but it was Pam with the roses. A real surprise. LOL.
Emily came up for the night on Friday to wish me well and for my birthday. That was so nice, I loved it. We squeezed in some special time. After the marathon mum, Wendy, Ray and some friends celebrated with me at Clifton Bay Cafe for lunch.
It was really nice for me to do something I enjoy on my birthday. Thank you to everyone who gave best wishes, hugs, pressies and all your love.
