“I trained hard during the winter, but the hot weather today was a huge shock. I felt very thirsty after only three miles.
“I’m in a running club and have run two half-marathons before, but this was my first full one. I might do another, but with my husband. We did a variety of things to raise money, including waxing my husband’s legs as well as cake sales and a raffle.”
