I did it!! I ran the Ras Al Khaimah Half Marathon!! I ran 21km and I managed it in under 2 hours which was not something I was particularly aiming for, just a huge bonus to add to my challenge. It was such a great event, music and drinks every couple of km with loud music playing, plenty of cheering and support which helped immensely especially at the 19 – 20km mark (the finish line was feeling a little too far away at that stage!). And whats more, the local tax free liquor shop awarded those who ran under 2 hrs a free bottle of Moet and 25% off our total bill!!! yippee!! Not sure the race and the booze shop go naturally hand in hand but the glass of bubbles that night felt like I was back in my natural habitat!…
