The Mini Marathon by Tina

Last year I ran in the Women’s Mini Marathon, which was held in Dublin.  I went training with my friends every night and it helped me to keep fit and kept me in a good frame of mind.  The day of the marathon the weather was warm and sunny.  A big crowd gathered to watch.

We all sang songs while we were waiting for it to start.  We had great fun.  Young and old joined in.  I got a medal, a free tee shirt and a goodie bag for taking part.

After the race we all went for a drink.  We really enjoyed ourselves.  The money I raised went to the Children’s Hospital for Sick Children in Crumlin.
