It is hard and scary enough getting out of bed for a fun run being 10km or 5km but to get out of bed and run 21km and it be raining so hard that the rain is going sideways is a huge effort on anyone who did it.  Well 4 Pioneers took the challenge on Sunday morning to attempt goals they had set months ago.  Carla, Joey Kristy and Kim-Maree all rocked up at 6:30am to run the half marathon a first for 3 of them and a few nervous toilet breaks before the big race.  Carla driving from Wagga that morning and then running a 1 hour 55min run, not recommended but an awesome awesome time. Joey who has been on a personalised running program who has been training since before Christmas had set an amazing goal of 2 hours 30min.  As Kristy Kim- Maree and I stood at the finish line we could see Joey 50m away.  As she gave her very best at what could be a sprint after 21km Joey clocked in at 2hours 33mins a HUGE achievement.  A huge Happy birthday to Joey as well who couldn’t celebrate due to having to run this event.   Kristy setting a goal of under 2 hours and months worth of training but being sick for the past week running a 1 hour 59min, I couldn’t have yelled harder for her to get to the finish line a huge effort by Kristy.  Kim-Maree who had run a half marathon before, set out with the girls the only one knowing what was ahead.  Kim -Maree pulled a 2 hour 3 minute time which was not her personal best but with a torn glute (bum) a huge effort.  Well done to everyone who participated.  Now we train for the full Marathon!!!!
