Running the London marathon on Sunday, what a fantastic experience. A big thank you to all my family who stood out in the pouring rain, seeing them at 23 miles really lifted me for the final push. The crowds were amazing without them I don't think I would have been able to finish, for everyone who shouts encouragement you have absolutely no idea how much it helps. To all the people who hand out the drinks, jelly babies, chocolate, biscuits, cheese sandwiches - thank you. A big thank you to every one who have given me words of encouragement and supported me throughout the whole experience from training, through to fundraising, sponsorship and after - THANKYOU -
The day was just fantastic I still can't believe that I took part and completed the London marathon, fulfilling a life time ambition To all the other runners well done, the day was overwhelming; the support for charities across the board is superb. Not enough words to describe the feelings inside: the start pushing on to 6 miles at the cutty sark, the first ten miles, reaching the half way point and watching the elite runners clocking up their last few miles. Completing 20, 21, 22 and 23 miles, supporters saying your nearly there, passing the London eye, running along the embankment. Finding the reserve strength for miles 23, 24, 25 and 26. Running through injury, aches and pains. The final push for the last 800 metres. Crossing the line and collecting my medal. The aches and pains don't matter, my time of four hours 57 minutes achieving my goal of beating five hours. Officially placed 25,184th I am confident over £500:00 pounds has been raised so far, I'm keeping my fingers crossed there will be more to come-it's not too late to donate, every penny counts. Once again A Big Thank you.
