It was actually my 15th Marathon and what a great day. This is when I saw Mary Jane, Rosie and Juliette at mile 18. No new PB, but a good time of 3 hours and 46 minutes which is one minute less than my PB.

In my new 'post 50' age category I was about 700 and overall about 9 000 of 37 000.

So, next year then for a new sub 3.30 Marathon PB to match my new PB of 1 hour 38 minutes  in the recent Surrey Half Marathon.

Thanks for all the donations - the Hospices are such great charities to support and I have been raising for Woking Hospice for over ten years now.

Who will be my first sponsor....... could it be YOU?
