I have heard alot about this one, i walk the dog in the park and that alone is a bit of struggle

Think this run may justify a nice pint of Bathams in the Britania upper gornal after!

Bring it on!

does anyone know how many entered the Marathon?

It would be interesting to see where I came in relation to the amount of runners.

Well what can i say, this was my 5th marathon and really i should have expected it to be hilly (Well it was in Wales) but i must admit I cried like a baby at 16 miles and I was convinced that my time would me measured on calender, this course must have been mapped by a Royal MARINE!!!

All said though I am glad I did this marathon and only 8 or so minutes off PB which I am really proud of because the course was like nothing I had run before! the road sign at 2 mile was a nice touch....14% incline warning triangle as it gave us a clue as what was to
come

The course stewards and officials were so good, it was as if each of them Had a personal wish for you to do well and they really made the route safe and secure loads of water, energy drink, sweets bananas, i was convinced i would get a full sunday roast at mile 20!

Scenery was breathtaking, medal was nice, and the public cheered you like you was a long lost son!!!!

This marathon was designed for Giants and this morning I feel like I could tackle the world,

THANK YOU WALES!
