C2C - Final Day

So we got to the final day, 13 miles to go until we reach our finish line. A lie in at home, then the 45 mins journey to Pickerings nature reserve just south of John Lennon Airport. Off we went in the car with Mum and Dad and the kids (Daniel, Maisie & Imogen), drop off of Dave & I then they will meet us later on at the finish. Dave & I set off me running first, no rain cloudy and windy, as it is along the Mersey. Running going well, setting my first few miles at an average of 08:21, loving the last day inly 6.5 miles to do. As we go past John Lennon Airport, I have only 1 miles to go, Dave did not look happy. We enter Garston, we stop to changeover, Dave not ready to run, but got on with the job. The first few miles OK, heavy on the legs, as we start running along Otterspool Promenade, the wind kicked and Dave kept a good steady, but tough pace. As we get to the EchoArena, I jump off the bike and run the last half mile with Dave, running round the other side of the Albert Dock we see Mum, Dad and the kids with a lovely banner. Well we did it and what agreat week, thanks to our families for all the support and thanks to Dave for keeping me going. Until the next adventure... bye for now.
