Day 32 – RACE DAY!

The project: A month-long stint of pounding the fields and lanes of Sussex in my hapless and ill-advised attempt to complete a quintessentially English 5k race between two local pubs. Yes, a pint of beer awaits every finisher!

Dear Reader,

I DID IT! Here’s the proof:

Happy runner Rebecca brandishing a glass I get to keep, which at the point this picture was taken still contained most of a pint of Triple Champion ale from the 1648 microbrewery. Picture courtesy of Jim Holden.

Thank so much to ALL OF YOU for cheering me on!

I know it’s not about the numbers, but I am thrilled with my time! Cards on the table: I’d been hoping for sub-45:00, and secretly desperate for sub-40:00. 😁

THANK YOU for keeping me accountable.

THANK YOU for cheering me on.

THANK YOU for not allowing me to doubt myself for a second.

There’s more of this story to come in a forthcoming Saturday post!

Love,

Rebecca
