My story

 

Many thanks for all your generous donations!

On 26th April 2009, I completed London Marathon in 2:54:09  Results 
My aim was to run sub 2:50, but I failed for several reasons:

1. I was needing to pee as soon as I started, and couldn't concentrate.
2. I ran the first half of the race too slowly
3. I ran the second half of the race too slowly
4. I got stomach pains after mile 16.
5. I had a stitch after mile 20.

Excuses 1, 2 and 5 all contributed to dragging my pace down below the 4:00/km I was planning on running.

Many thanks for all the support for Gordon Shannon and Tak Tent Cancer Support Scotland.

Gordon was a very keen runner before being diagnosed with a brain tumour in February 2007. Many Scottish runners will know Gordon as shannon via fetcheveryone.com. 

Tak Tent Cancer Support taktent.org is based at Gartnavel Hospital, Glasgow.
