Story

Hi There

Well - I ran my last marathon in New York on Sunday 2nd November in 5 hours and 5 minutes.  I found after 16 miles really tough and put it down to the fact that my legs had had enough as I had spent most of Saturday before the race walking around New York shopping on 5th Avenue instead of resting!!!  Hey ho.

The atmosphere on the day was fantastic with Frank Sinatra's New York New York sending us off from Staten Island and the support from the locals was fabulous.  Doughnuts, bananas, oranges and tissues(!) gratefully received enroute!!

Thank you again for your donation which kept me going when the going got tough!!

Lots of good wishes and thanks - Michala
