Dear Editor, I am visiting Wales from Canada and ran the Wales Half Marathon on Sunday - my first! - and the atmosphere was amazing. The whole route from Pembroke to Tenby was lined with supporters who cheered us on and made the whole day just wonderful.

I would very much like to pass on my gratitude to the locals who made this day possible: thank you, diolch yn fawr!
