Well done Isabel. We managed to see you on 3 occasions. What a day, each time you were about 2 mins ahead of Emily I think, so I knew she would be passing by shortly so had my eyes out on stalks trying to find her amongst the runners. Thanks for your brilliant write up too. X

It was so lovely spotting the various Jackson/Woodward combos and I'm glad I was a good Emily alerting device! Such an amazing day, you must be so proud of her.

Massive congratulations! Is it still possible to donate to your charity? I did mean to (and provide a song!) but life got a bit busy the last couple of weeks

48hrs too late - I should have shouted “Keep it up Isabel” to get your attention without getting battered!

My shorts were GREAT! I normally swear by Sweaty Betty but these are from Happy Stride - half the price but just as great quality and so jazzy and snazzy!
