Marathon Girl

So The Sister went off to do the Robin Hood Half Marathon this weekend.

I have been a big fat lazy looser far too busy with my big life change to do any training so I went along as chief cheer leader.
It really was a great day - good "conditions" at the start but with a hideous head wind at the end, a lovely course, and good crowd (aided by me playing a big part cycling around the course, shouting out names and tooting my horn much to everybodies annoyance) and The Sister ran her first ever half marathon race with a knee injury in..........................1.51 (choke).

She (quite wisely) set off with the real-runners right up at the front - look at her - so diddy!
I limped my way round my half marathon training in approx 2.15 so its clearly true what they say about lifestyle choices - The Sister likes to relax at the gym and I like to relax at Booze Monster - but it wouldn't do if we were all made the same would it????

She is a star.......bring on The London........I am expecting a sub-4-hour time for her and I hate her am really really happy for her (he he he)

Well Done Little Lil - I am (as always) extremely proud of you XXX
