when does a jogger become a runner?

I would never call myself a runner.

I would certainly never call myself fast.

I have never voluntarily entered a running race before (I am thinking back to my school days here....)

Until yesterday.

Joining another 150 bodies, I entered the Petrofac Challenge (multi terrain half marathon), part of the RunBalmoral series.

I was aiming for a time of 2 hours 30 (if I am perfectly honest) but surprised myself by coming in with 2 hours 8 mins and 10 seconds. I came in as the 20th Senior Female, being 42% slower than the fastest female (who is the scottish hill running champion).

I done nothing last night except eat chocolate and drink wine :)
