Very proud of this lady below. Joanna Hess contacted me 5 months ago with a personal best of 1hr 56 mins to her name but her running life time goal was to break 1:50 for the half marathon,with that she promised she’d happily retire.It wasn’t always easy trying to balance a very hectic life, married with 4 young children and running her own business left her pretty much always time poor and progress was initially slow. With patience and perseverance she finally broke 1:50 in the Rock N Roll Half last month with 1:49, lowering it further again to 1:48 in Athlone. Then a week later in the recent Dublin Half marathon she ran the race of her life with a very impressive 1:44.
