In short: Virgin Marathoner up for another
In full: Immense. Wanted 4hrs 30mins, but heat only made 5hrs 13mins 27secs possible, but when muscle soreness took over at 25miles and reduced me to a walk I took in all the crowds and scenery and enjoyed and forgot about the times.
Will be applying next year!

In short: Awesome
In full: Memo to self - even if you've decided what to wear and how to run, allow for the fact that the weather forecast may be WRONG! I was expecting cold and planned accordingly so sweated and suffered all the way. Can't wait for next year though.
