Westgate Half Marathon Race

Old mutual hosted a half marathon race yesterday at Westgate Shopping Centre, which i attended. Registration was free and there were different categories to cater for everyone.

The first to go were the 5km runners, followed by the 10km runners and finally the 21km runners. After much concideration, i finally settled for the 10km race. I've done a 10km power-walk before (hosted by Bon Marche) and so i knew it wasn't going to be a problem.

With me was my sister and her boyfriend so i had great support along the way. I'll not lie, running is not my thing! Each time i ran, i was out of breath and felt like i couldn't go on anymore. Thank God for my sister's boyfriend who cheered me on and gave me all the support i needed.

There were more than 500 people who took part in the 10km race and, believe it or not, i made number 246! After the race we received a few goodies from the hosts, which included fruits, mineral water and t-shirts.

I couldn't stay longer for the prize giving ceremony because i had to attend a meeting. All in all, i had a fabulous time doing it!
