Yay...I am no longer a Marathon Virgin! 

All 3 goals achieved - made the start, crossed the start and just about made it to the finish :) !!!!

I had an amazing day. 

The atmosphere was something to behold and so brilliant to experience that first hand.

Despite being in all magnitude of pain from 19 miles due to cramp in all the major muscle groups of both legs (serious ouch) that meant i had a long walk in(7 miles!) i thoroughly enjoyed my experience and the joy and support from the most massive crowds i have ever seen.

Big thanks to everyone; my family, the Cruisers Running Club for my place, friends, work colleagues, sponsors, the London crowds. Special thanks must go to my amazing therapist, Suzanne Brooker, who has kept me fit and ready to go through all the hard training months.

You have all been an inspiration in helping me reach my goal and exceeding the fundraising targets. I have set.
