I bloody did it!!!

Nov1720102 p.m.

Took me 3 years but I have finally run a marathon!!

Injuries stopped me in my tracks for two consecutive London Marathons but this year was my year and on November 7th - I crossed the line in New York a very happy bunny!!

Took me 5:58:23 but I beat Gebrselassie on my first outing so that's not bad!

The whole day was amazing and the crowd support was incredible.

Managed to raise £2000 for our local hospice which is great.

Not sure what to do next - potentially have a bond place for London 2011 but not sure if I can raise another £2000 so close to New York.

Need some fundraising suggestions ie events that could make this happen for me.....

Anyway, I'm off to polish my medal again!!
