Well - it is 3 months since the Marathon and my page is about to expire. I am over the self loathing and self pitying and am back on the pavement, running the beautiful bridges and parks along Londons embankment. I am making a special effort to run at mid day when the sun is shining, as punishment and preparation for my next sunny event. It took me over 5 hours of walking, running and crying to finish the Marathon and although that was nearly an hour over the time I had trained for, my biggest disappointment was not finding it in me to enjoy it, crowds are just not my thing. However, I have entered again and hope to get another chance to complete it properly one day. In the meantime I'll stick to dirty ditches and off road running, where there is no-one to cheer you on, never mind see you cry, limp and sweat like a beast. Thanks to everyone that donated and supported me, cuddled me and jestfully mocked me for being such a loser. I have amazing friends. Thank you.
