So… I did the Great North Run today!!
I honestly can’t even put into words how nervous and emotional I was before it. I think I felt every emotion possible today 😂
But wow… what an experience
The Red Arrows flypast was absolutely insane and, of course, I cried at that 🥹 Hearing the stories of why other people were running was so emotional too, and really made you realise how much this day means to so many people.
The support along the whole route was just incredible. So many complete strangers shouting my name and cheering me on, the cutest little kids holding their hands out for high fives, and the absolute heroes handing out ice pops when I needed one most 😂 It was honestly so special.
I didn’t get the time I was hoping for, but actually… I don’t really care. I crossed that finish line and I am SO proud of myself.
There were definitely moments when it was hard, but I kept going and I did it.
And this one meant more than just finishing a half marathon.
This one was for my uncle. ❤️
I really hope I made you proud.
That one was for you ###
