It's all over and I finished in a respectable 2:12:36, 3 minutes slower than last year but it was very hot and I don't remember quite so many hills!!

We had a good start with a gradual up hill for 2 miles turning off at the Rising sun and off into the forest, it looked amazing with hazy views and a cool breeze which kept us from over heating.  Then came the real hills and the heat of the day, started to feel the burn around 9 miles but the jelly babies at 10 miles gave us a bit of a sugar kick. 

It was the last 2 miles that I felt were really hard (the sugar kick had gone)  but managed to push the last point one to cross the line in 2:12:36

Thank you to everyone at the water stations (Jo, Jasmine, Susan) and to those cheering us on at the finish.

This week I should know if I have a place in the London Marathon - watch this space!!

Thank you all for your kind donations.

Keep smiling
Sarah
