So I managed to complete the London Marathon in 6 hours, 31 minutes. Gutted not to do it in under my 6 hour target but it was really hot so I've got an excuse. A HUGE thank you to everyone who sponsored me, followed my progress and sent me congratulatory messages afterwards, it means the world. We managed to smash the £2k target but as we've come so close to raising £3k, I've decided to do the Great Manchester Run this Sunday in an effort to top it up. Hopefully we can break that £3k mark and then I'll take a well earned break from running!

A massive thank you to everyone who has sponsored me so far, whether they're friends from FCUM, family, work colleagues & the bloke in the Grey Horse on Portland Street who donated when he overheard me talking about the marathon! I'm actually far more excited than terrified and I can't wait to get going on Sunday. I'm thinking of that pint in Westminster with FCUM London & Southern branch once I've crossed the line! Please spread the word and encourage anyone you know to chip in, even if it's just a couple of quid, all contributions welcome.

Thanks for all your generations donations so far. I've completed 15 outdoor runs since I began my training in mid-January and have covered a distance of 83km in less than 10 hours total. This includes the Guiseley Gallop 10k I did on Sunday. You've helped to raise more than £1,200 so far, including an extra £30 in cash donations I received at Leamington away on Saturday. I'm aiming to raise £2,000 in total for the club, so please help me get there by giving whatever you can afford. Thank you!
