A HUGE thanks to everyone who has contributed to Childline. It was a glorious day for a marathon in London on Sunday. Great weather, no wind and good temperature. Before start we paid tribute to the victims in Boston - it was absolutely silent - powerful. Then we were off!

I set out at a high pace to give me some margin should I slow down later on in the race. London is SUCH a great place to run with people cheering you virtually every inch of the way. I was pushing hard, and hit the halfway mark at 1.32.41. Once I got to 25km I was starting to feel a bit stiff in the legs. By 30km I had an inkling of an approaching cramp. But all the while I thought about those donations, so I pushed HARD.

I got in at 3.09.47 - not much of a margin to hit the 3.10, but I did it. I have a severe difficulty walking down stairs today, but who cares?

THANK YOU for your contributions - it is much appreciated!
