Time: 4:16
What a brilliant day!
Best moment was seeing familiar faces at mile 18 from the Runners World
forum, and hubby Chris too!
Worst time was from about 20-22 when I had to convince myself that I could
really do it...took some doing, but I did.
Most memorable moment was running round Cutty Sark and thinking "Wow I am
running the London Marathon"....something I first said I would do when I was
15....took a while, I am 34 now.
My goals changed frequently in training but when I got to the start I
decided that all I wanted was to finish it...but enjoy it too. Did 4.16 in
the end, a time I am more than happy with for a first marathon.
I dont think I would do anything differently....apart from appreciate more
just how many people there are running, I know its silly but I really didnt
realise!
Managed half a lager as a celebration soon after but am intending to do much better tomorrow to celebrate with friends that now owe me sponsorship
money.
Marshalling and support were brilliant. Thank you all.
A brilliant day though, made much better by the friendliness of the forums!
Oh yes, and finished in 4.16. Very happy with that.
