running all over the world by katie73

We finished the Berlin Marathon in 5:07:14.  It was the most amazing experience.  I was laughing and crying at the same time coming over the finish line.  What a totally brilliant day.  The weather was perfect with a cobalt blue sky and the crowd were fantastic with their support.  There was music and entertainment all the way round.  We felt totally ok afterwards, a little tired but fine.  I have felt alot worse after a lot less miles.  I think the atmosphere has a lot to answer for. We stuck to a strategy and it seemed to pay off.  The toilets were the down point, as we had to queue and sometimes they were unusable.  I think our time would have been alot less except for this.  But we werent doing it for a time, just to see if we could.  And we did it!! There were some stops in the bushes I have to admit. 

A long time ambition has been fulfilled. Thanks to everyone for there kind support, it really has meant alot to me.  So, would I do it again. I the answer is yes I would...........
