Not as good a time as I wanted, but hey I finished!

Hi everyone, well been away from blogging since the marathon as just a little disappointed with my time - 4:33:59. I know, I know, it is the finishing that really counts and I did beat my last time of 4:48:33 so I should be happy. Plagued by stomach cramps, blisters and lost a toenail on the day, not sure why although I did wear different socks and change my breakfast etc., which we are obviously all told not to do so that might explain it. Anyway, just loved the experience and felt so proud and euphoric running past the crowds shouting my name that I would love to do it all again next year - although don't imagine I will get in on the ballot. I'm now thinking of joining a running club although I have shied away from them in the past as they generally seem to run in the evenings, however I might give it a go. Congratulations to everyone who finished and apologies for being a little grouchy 'cos really I had a fantastic time!!!

STUBLACK 'That's a great time, hope I can get that sort of improvement next time I do it (there has to be a next time) At least you'll know not to change anything next time. Agree with the comment about the crowds shouting your name for support, although my arms ached with all the high 5's' added 1st May 2010
