What I did...

I finished 377th out of 34000+ in a time of 2:47:27. This was just over 2 minutes slower than my target time, but still over 11 minutes quicker than my previous best.

I was on target to run 2:42 until the last 10km when I developed a painful stitch, which got so bad I was forced to walk for a small time in the last couple of miles. Up until the 25th mile I was still on target to beat 2:45 before stopping to walk.

Many thanks to you all for the support, you’ve helped raise over £600 (plus Gift Aid) for the British Heart Foundation. This is very much appreciated

Why...

To raise funds for the British Heart Foundation:

* Every two minutes, someone in in the UK has a heart attack.

* Every two hours a baby is born with a heart defect

* Seven times as many women die of heart disease than breast cancer

How your money will help...

£25 could pay for books to help schoolchildren understand the most common heart problems and teach them how to look after their own hearts.

£50 could help the BHF's Heart Information Line answer 1,600 calls a month from heart patients and their families

£100 could go towards helping Heart Support Groups to set up and help people who suffer from heart disease in their local communities

£250 could help fund a specialist BHF Nurse to look after someone who is recovering after a heart operation in his or her home.
