Story

I AM DOING THE LONDON MARATHON AGAIN! I DID IT IN 2008 IN 4HOURS 44 MINUTES. IT WAS AN AMAZING CHALLENGE! I FOUND THE TRAINING ON MY OWN REALLY DIFFICULT. I AM RAISING MONEY FOR THE DYSTONIA SOCIETY. MY HUSBAND, WARNER, WAS DIAGNOSED WITH DYSTONIA IN 2008. HIS SYMPTOMS HAVE IMPROVED DRAMATICALLY WITH REGULAR BOTOX INJECTIONS.

 

25TH APRIL 2010 - I FINISHED!! IT WAS AWFUL!! MY HIPS WERE HURTING FROM ABOUT 11 MILES. I KEPT STOPPING WHEN I SAW PEOPLE I KNEW AND CRYING!! THANK YOU SPECTATORS YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!

MY OFFICIAL TIME IS 5 HOURS (and 3 seconds!), SO I DIDN'T BEAT MY TIME BUT I DID FINISH! Mxx
