Goodgym goes running!

Heetu and I signed up for the Knowsley Harriers Fab 4-Miler starting and ending at Halewood Environment Centre. After some sat-nav issues which delayed us slightly, we got super lucky with parking and were able to collect bibs, pin up, and make it to the back of the crowd just in time for race start.

We were slightly intimidated by the amount of professional looking running bibs, but it turned out to be a very friendly and supportive crowd. We were given fair warning of an ominous-sounding hill at the start, but after that it was plain sailing under the canopy of the trans penine trail and we were even able to cheer others on as they passed us - on their way back! - after the turning point.

Despite feeling like the turning point was forever out of reach, we eventually got there and headed back. We paced ourselves well for the last mile and managed a strong finish.

This was the second in a 4-race series, and there's a mystery prize for those who complete 3 out of 4. This lovely route certainly peaked our interest, whether we can make the next 2 remains to be seen...
