Cardiff Half Marathon: Runners get engaged near finish line
By Rowenna HoskinBBC News
Imagine getting within metres of the Finish Line of a Half Marathon And Then turning round to see your partner on one knee.
But instead of pulling a muscle, Felix Harkness, 39, pulled a ring out to propose to his partner in front of thousands of people.
Anna Bearne, from Bristol, said she was " still in shock" and " so chuffed".
The couple finished The Race in One Hour and 43 minutes and have Another planned in order to go quicker.
Ms Bearne, 38, and Mr Harkness " caught the running bug" just over a year ago and train together.
The Cardiff Half Marathon on Saturday was the couple's third race over the 13. 1-mile (21km) distance.
" I cannot believe he did it there And Then , " said Ms Bearne.
She Said she had " absolutely no clue" The Proposal was coming.
She Said they had been training for 12 weeks and had both hoped to beat their personal bests.
" We were really excited about it And Then 14km (8. 7 miles) into it, I think the stress of it might have got to Felix and he just started hitting The Wall .
" He just ran out of energy, could barely move his legs in front of one Another - which is so unlike Felix, he's usually The One pulling me along, " She Said .
" I was really cross half way around, I was really like 'there's just no point in finishing'. . and He Said 'no really lets just make it to The End , I don't give up on races'. "
When they got within metres of the finishing line, Mr Harkness decided it was time.
" He pretended to pull something in his leg and went down on the floor and I turned around and was like 'come on' And Then he pulled a ring out of his pocket, " Ms Bearne said.
Ms Bearne said they missed their target time by seven minutes.
" We train together and we just started running just over a year ago and we realised we loved it.
" We just got The Bug and we've actually booked Another [Half Marathon ] in Two Weeks time so we can get the pace that we want, " She Said .
Their three children, Fox, 6, Woody, 4 and Hero, 2 are " excited" for the " big party" the couple are now planning for their wedding, the soon-to-be bride said.
