GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
Our daughter Sally came home from New Zealand when she was given a late entry to run in the London Marathon. She took it very seriously and had trained and paid a personal trainer to give her a programme of how far and when to run, what to eat - and when. She was here for a week before the 22nd April and her programme was fairly relaxed, she had a 45 minute run every other day at first and then just exercise with a medicine ball and a stretching pillow. Our little terrier Hillie ran with her, they make a great team.
She finished in 5 hours 47 minutes and she loved every minute of it, she had put her iPod in her pack to listen to music as she ran but she was so enjoying the chat with fellow runners and the crowds watching that she didn't switch on. She said the crowds were wonderful and as she had her name across the front of her T shirt they were calling her name as she ran by
We watched on TV and didn't take our eyes off the screen all day, didn't manage to see her. She had friends waiting at the finish, which was lovely for her.
She is no spring chicken either our 'baby' will be 50 this year.
Well done our Sall. We are so proud of you. XX
