Hi, I wish I'd found this page about 6-months ago!! I ran for the first time on Sunday, I had a great first 13-miles then it went rapidly down hill and I ended up walking the last 6-miles with about 30-sec jogs every now and again. Finally finshed in 7hrs 17mins!!! I think I'm going to stick to half marathons from now on although I'm tempted by another go to see if I can get under 7hrs at least!
Totally agree Emmy_bug whereas I certainly didn't do the marathon for the goody bag it was a little dissapointing to have to give most of it to my husband afterwards!
Just found out today I've got my charity place so I'm a first timer too. I'm still in shock and bit terrified but will be on here looking for support and advice!!
