I can't believe it's all over. I had a wonderful day on Sunday. I had set out to run the marathon in under five hours and achieved a finish time of 4 hours and 43 minutes. This time I was able to really soak up the atmosphere and enjoy myself instead of trying to block out the pain in my knee!

Thank you all so much for your support and sponsorship. As you know, I was running on behalf of the Cardinal Hume Centre. If you haven't had a chance to sponsor me, and would still like to, it's not too late.
