So, I did it!  I finished the race in a fairly respectable 4:10:45. 

The weather wasn't ideal (may have been for those of you spectating, but try running in it!), but I somehow got round the course and had a lovely long shower at the end of it!

Thanks to those who watched and cheered the runners on. 

Thanks also to those of you who have helped me raise a spectacular £1,700 (in addition to which we can also add a whopping amount from the tax man through Gift Aid).  I am very lucky to have such good and generous friends to rely on for their support.

My justgiving site remains live until June, so you may still sponsor me if you feel so inclined.  Otherwise, pat yourselves on the back for raising so much money for the British Red Cross! 

Many thanks again for your support.
