Run Mummy Run

Originally I had been hoping to do the full Bonn marathon, but a recent illness which knocked me for six put pay to that. At the last minute (yesterday) I signed up for the half marathon and dragged my lovely little family with me. Hubby booked us into a fantastically decorated 70s style hotel (which the kids thought was so fancy - I think it was the chandeliers and patterned carpets that did it!) with a fantastic location - metres from the start and finish! We actually had friends there with kids the same age as ours so they scooted their little hearts out up and down the Rhine cheering on the runners and inline skaters.
I've never raced in Germany so it was a first for me. The course was great and well supported and the weather perfect. I was a little disappointed with my performance, but when looking back at the lack of quality training I've done in the last month, it wasn't too bad a run in the end.
We all really liked Bonn so it was a lovely way to end the Spring holidays.
