Well it is all over!
I will not be running the half marathon this year.
The excuse given -- too dangerous, tight turns,
difficult roads and any other excuse they can think up.
If I can run the Childrens Hospital Fun Run,
with 29,999 other people over rough roads,
very tight turns and even a U-turn on half a road,
without causing an accident,
why cant I do the same thing in the half marathon?
All I am being offered, is the untimed 4k.
I am not even allowed to run the timed 5.7k.
which I could do with my eyes closed!
At present I am feeling very hurt.
I have been amazed at all the wonderful support I have received during the past few months,
and I would like to thank you all
for having faith in me.
This is not the end of my fight for equality!!
I am going to do the long run for the RCH in April next year.
I will run through the tunnel and over the Bolte Bridge, almost 15 k. and probably harder for me
than the marathon.
I hope everyone will continue to suport me in my fight for disability
and for the kids hospital.
Until next time -- Keep Happy!
