Tracie Jarvis and Kay Sadler
IT'S been a long journey for some of the runners who recently completed the London Marathon. For Tracie Jarvis and Kay Sadler, it has been quite a last 12 months. They achieved their goal last month, and now they have both had time to take breath and reflect, they wanted to say a few thanks.....
WHAT A YEAR! It was about this time last year that we met at the beginner's course. Neither of us had done much in the way of running, but you could say we haven't stopped since!!
From the Test Way Relay to our first half marathon and then onto THE LONDON!!
A fantastic day, phenomenal atmosphere and a BLOODY long way! Incredible experience and we've been riding the wave ever since.
Never thought we had it in us and probably didn't before joining such an enthusiastic and encouraging club. We have been extremely lucky to meet some fantastic people, who have helped us in achieving our ultimate goal.
A special thank you to:
· Caroline, for introducing us to LONG RUNS!! Her achievements are inspirational!
· Glen, for his slave driving speed sessions and training advice.
· Tex, and Mark, for their support on our mid week runs.
· The club, for providing us with this opportunity.
· Di, Jane, Jacqui and Mark, for their support on the day.
· And a HUGE thank you to Kathy who nurtured us and was with us every step of the way! A true friend and we couldn't have done it without her.
Finally we must say an extra special thank you to our other halves Alan and Neil. Both have been so supportive and encouraging and acted as both Mother and Father to our children during the last three months!!
