Dad completes Half Marathon

On Friday 27th June 2014 - Dad ran in the annual Newtownards Half Marathon event.  Harry and Mum and a lot of the family came out to watch Dad run round the course.  Dad was very pleased to reach the end and completed the course in 2 hours and 5 minutes.  He also raised £395 pounds for the MS Society.

Happy before the race.

Harry, Ricky and Mum were at the start line to watch.

And we are off.

Only 13 miles to go.

Everyone drove round to the 9/10 mile marker and waited for Dad to get round.

Here comes Dad still going strong.

Feels like the finish for Dad seeing everyone there but time to push on, not long left.

Harry watches Dad head off on the final stretch.

Dad pushed hard on the final few miles to try and improve his finish time.

Dad crosses the finish line and is knackered. 2 hours 5 mins and very sore legs.

Harry and Nanna enjoying the evening and were there with Mum at the finish line.

Happy Dad with Harry and his medal.  Target achieved.
