I Got A Medal And Everything…

Posted on June 24, 2018October 2, 2023 By Priptona No Comments on I Got A Medal And Everything…

I had never done anything like this before. Entered a race for charity. A 10km event.

I walked it, expecting it would take me some 2 hours to get around….but I did it in 1hr 47m 26s – I might have even done quicker than it seems as I didn’t set off quickly. I was right at the back of the pack. But I soon made up time.

I listened to Simple Minds on shuffle mode on my way round. Nearly lost it when Wonderful In Young life played around the 4km mark…and then a brilliant live version of New Gold Dream played and I was spurred right on. Thanks for the motivation, guys! Love you!

And to those who donated too. Love you guys too! So much xx

Happy with my time and my medal 🙂

And…all for my bro. Hope he was proud.
