Verity Hawson Ran The Madrid Half Marathon
On Sunday 1st April 2012 Verity Hawson ran the Madrid 1/2 marathon to raise money for the Jo Walter's Trust. Apart from the challenge of running 21kms, Verity managed to complete it in a time of just over 2 hours. Please show your support by giving a donation via BT MyDonate.
In her own Words
I didn't however, i'm afraid to say, manage to beat my personal best of 1hr 53 minutes which was my result from the Edinburgh half marathon 4 years ago; I managed it in an arduous 2 hours and 3 minutes (disappointingly). I'm not sure whether the slower speed this year was due to the lack of Scottish wind to blow me along, or whether it had something to do with the octopus i'd eaten the night before (I was going on the theory that 8 legs must be better than 2!), or maybe it was just because i'm getting old. Either way though, I managed it, and it's all thanks to your support and encouragement; I know that the money you generously donated will go towards some fantastic projects.
Our thanks to Verity for this valuable fundraising effort.
