Time not givenThe rain couldn't dampen my spirits! I loved running in fancy dress, the support from the crowd was amazing. There were shouts for Red Indians and Pocahontas all the way round and I had a fabulous day. Time was not an issue, we were pulled over to pose for photos, g...
Time not givenWhat a day...45 mins off my 2003 time and although I saw the support gang at mile 18 I was too late to dive across the pack for a much needed hug... perhaps next year! I think my RW 11 min pacer went on turbo charge about then, too, and we all lost him!!! Nothing c...
Time: 3:41Best moment-the sound of the drums heading into the flyover, the support,seeing my family and friends, the finsh line!Biggest surprise-how easy it was to get close to the front of the blue startand being passed by a 'womble' at 8 miles, and how I managed to run the cour...
Time: 3:45Followed the RW 3:45 training plan & did 3:45:34. Best moment was passing club supporters at just before 25M & realising I still felt good & had plenty of puff when I'd anticipated needing an ambulance at that stage before the race. Seeing my sister & daughter in the cr...
Time not given18 months ago I couldn't bend down and tie up my shoelaces, yesterday I RAN THE LONDON MARATHON!!!!!! I'm still cuddly but limping into school today and having year 6 offer to help me down the stairs because they were proud of me - all telling me they'd seen me on t...
Time: 3:19What a fantastic day! Despite being on the first coach to be refused access to the start, having to walk the last 10 minutes to the start, being extremely cold and wet pre-race, and all of us losing the pacers, we had a brilliant day. PBs all round. I set myself 3-15...
Time: 3:29Despite the best intentions and a plan for even running towards my 3:30 target, I ran 10 miles at a pace I couldn't sustain then ground out the remaining miles with gritted teeth in the rain trying not to look at my watch or the mile clocks and get downcast about my det...
Time: 3:48Caught and tagged on with Sean and his colleague (3.45 pacers) from about 2 miles and stuck with them until 22/23 miles. Couldn't quite hold the pace over the last 3, but finished in 3.48 which is my best mara for 4 years. My splits were 1.54.15 and 1.54.02. Big thanks ...
Time: 3:59My first London Marathon and what a day. This great picture was taken at the end of the South Colonnade in Canary Wharf, just when runners were starting to really feel the pain a bit after getting soaked earlier. I finished just under 4hrs, which was my target. Bigge...
Time: 4:04Sunday was my first marathon. I came in at 4:04 and am currently in great pain but.......it was worth it!!! I started at the blue start and hooked up with the 9.00 minute mile pacer. I was running for Children with Leukaemia and stayed with him until just past 24 miles....
