Ealing Half Marathon completed in 1:58:42 a best for the course and back under 2 hours. Really happy with that.  It was hot and hard work but an incredible experience once again. A big thank you to all the Stewards, Marshals, Medics and anyone involved in any way. To the people of Ealing, you are awesome for supporting this event and allowing us to take over your town for the day! I thank you all. See you next year! :)  

My Fundraising page

It's been a full year since my first half marathon and I'm back in Ealing. It's been quite a year, so much has changed, so many new experiences, so many new feelings and more to come over the coming months. So will my 2nd Ealing half marathon feel as good as the first? Will I beat my time? In 24 hours I will know :) But the impression so far has been good, people have been friendly and welcoming, the great organisation that we have come to expect is evident, the weather is warm and I'm resting and planning my run. All my race prep has been done, my training plan is complete and I'm feeling fit and ready. I'd like thank everyone for their support and encourage you all to visit my "just giving" page ( http://www.justgiving.com/owner-email/pleasesponsor/Mark-Benfield ) to read my story and why I support Parkinson's UK.  So many great charities, so much great work being done but this is my cause and it's why I run. #EalingFeeling #running #Parkinsons
