marathon weekend part 2

Apr1720083:27 p.m.

after waking up early i had a banana and a cereal bar then after a shower i went and had a bowl of porridge and another banana.
timeof the run we headed off to the start and had a ball as we joked and took pictures...
nerves didn't come into it as i felt great...(even after the night before)
i stayed just over the time on my pace band until mile 17 and then i had to slow ( yes i did walk some of it i wont lie) mile 17.5 i met someof my friends and had a quick hug and a photo..
canary wharf was awfull twisty and very wet and miles 19 to 21 were quite painfull as my groin had starting to hurt
after seeing another friend at mile 23 i decided that i would just go for it and felt myself speed up hitting the embankment and the cheering crowds made me determind to finish the course..
birdcage walk i knew that i was so close i was determind to run all the way home
crossing the finish line made me so very happy i was only 13 minutes off the pace band so i cant really complain on the time side...
I HAD SET OUT TO RUN AND FINISH THE FLORA LONDON MARATHON AND I HAD DONE IT AN ASTHMATIC MOTHER OF THREE KIDS PROVED TO HERSELF THAT SHE COULD AND DID RUN 26.3 MILES..... TILL NEXT TIME 2010 POSSIBLY
