Living up to the label Part 2

I'm pleased to say that I completed the half-marathon in 2hrs 58mins for the Sussex Beacon. Hurrah! I learned a lot about myself today, mainly that I am rubbish (mentally) at endurance challenges and are unlikely to ever run a full marathon, which had been on my bucket-list until today.

Finish line in sight. Can you see the relief on my face!

It was an experience I am pleased to have dedicated and pushed myself through, but feel no inclination to repeat. Seems I've just proved that as a lesbian I don't fit the 'sporty dyke' stereotype or label either!
