I DID IT ! ! ! !
.....and it was hell......!
I found it pretty tough all the way round really, a combination of nerves and the incredible heat made it very hard for me to run well. However, I made it round in 3 hrs 58 mins, the target was to break 4 hrs and that's what I did!.....just.......!
Thank you all for your magnificent support which helped me raise far more than the target amount and it is still rising! Your support meant so much to me during my training and the race. Photos of me in an exhausted state will soon be available at http://www.actionphoto.net using my runner number: 46072.
