Story

I've done 5Ks, 10Ks, 10 miles, half marathons and now the full marathon

It's my 40th year and also the 40th New York marathon, so it seemed like a good idea at the time!

On Sunday 1 November it took me 4 hours 19 minutes to run 26.2 miles around the streets of New York with 43,741 other runners supported by over 2 million people! An amazing experience but very very hard!  All in a great cause though.

 

Thanks

Kate
