Hello everyone
On 26th April 2009 I completed the London Marathon in 4 Hours 24 minutes. I achieved my target of under 4.5 hours, but the sub 4 hours will have to wait another year. I came 16,623rd out of almost 36,000 runners.
It was a brilliant, brilliant day. A great and friendly atmosphere. However, it was a difficult run. I foolishly decided to run with a chest cold, and that definitely slowed me down from the start - and the 23rd mile was torturous. It was also very sunny - and now have sunburnt face and shoulders!! In addition, I ended up with 6 blisters and some serious chaffing, but I won't go into too much detail about that.
I just want to say A BIG THANK YOU to those who sponsored me. You've helped me raise far more than I expected.
I am still raising funds for ECPAT UK, so please sponsor me now, if you haven't done so already!
Thank you very much
Mark
