Running 1/2 Marathon distance

by Noel Burke
(Bridgetown, Barbados)

There are two experiences that stand out in my mind for 2020.

One was that I was presented with a medal for being the first in my age group (60+) to finish a 5K race. The other was that I was able with a running friend to complete the half marathon distance on Saturday December 12, 2020.

My plan is to continue running and to see what else if anything can be accomplished in 2021.

Well done Noel! I am glad 2020 was a positive year for you.

To complete your first 5K and first 1/2 marathon within one year is an incredible achievement. You must be so happy with both those milestones.

I look forward to hearing about any new achievements
in 2021! Best of luck and happy running!
