What a fantastic day!
My first Marathon - My goal was to just break 4 hours - I managed 3:57:09. Unfortunately I missed the RW pacers at the blue start.
A big thanks to Runners World magazine and forums for all the info in the past few weeks and months - I faithfully followed the training schedules and articles on hydration and fuelling - I had no problems and didn't even hit the wall!
The best moment - realising that I have raised over £2250 for my charities - SeeSaw in Oxford and Ty Bryngwyn Hospice in Llanelli within my goal time.
A big thanks to all the spectators - it wasn't the best day to be out. Hearing my name being called out all way round was a great morale boost - particularly along the Embankment and Birdcage Walk.
