We did it!

The dreaded day dawned bright and sunny.
We were assailed by doubts - would we? could we? should we?
If only we had done more training.
If only we hadn't eaten so much Carrot cake.

We arrived at the appointed hour, and gave up all hope of ever finding Dot and co.
Thousands of pink ladies as far as the eye could see.
Loud music.
Annoying warm-up people.

Finally the count down, and we were off, weaving our way past walkers with wings and tutus.
Soon saw a familiar looking back - It was Dot! Of all the luck.
Quick hugs and squeaks of delight, then down to some serious jogging.
Nice moment when we trotted past our families - they had found each other too!

We all ran further than we have ever run before, and totally exceeded our expectations, reaching the finishing line in 35 mins, holding hands and grinning broadly.

Would we do it again?

We will if you will.
