You might remember that a couple of weeks ago I blogged about regretting signing up for a 5K race on the Palm in Dubai.
Well, I did it! I’m quite proud actually, because I’m honestly not a runner, this was my first race and I truly thought I might be trampled under foot by a pack of joggers.
My DH, who was in charge of the camera, even took a picture of the ambulance, in case I got carted off in it and wanted to blog about it later!
Nearly 4,000 women from 71 different nations took part in the 5km and 10km races, creating a sea of pink along the Palm Jumeirah on Friday
Neck and neck with my mother-in-law: I wasn’t a happy puppy at 5.30am in the morning when the alarm went off, but on the home straight – with the finish line in sight – I managed a smile, despite the humidity
You look far perkier than I would have after running a 5K! Well done!
Thank you! I still ache, six days later!!
Well done ladies!!!!!!
I’ll join you next year!
I’ll hold you to that Jax! It was actually quite fun – she says, now it’s over!!
Congratulations! You both look far too fresh to be near the end of a 5k run. 🙂
Thank you! [whispers: we’d been walking just before the photo was taken!!]
