Smull's London Marathon 2010 by smull

I ended my marathon training about half an hour ago with a 3 mile run around the industrial estate where I took my humble first few steps about 14 months ago. Back then I had nothing more than the Blackpool 10k in my sights but as training progressed things snow balled to where I am now, one week away from the most famous run in the world and the longest run of my life.

If I can just have a small 'Oscar' moment I'd like to thank all who've supported me especially my wife; the running widow, couldn't have done it without her. I am now excited (and nervous) about the big day and at this time in 7 days I'll be nearing Tower Bridge before turning right into the Doldrums around Canary Wharf and longing to be in the final stretch down the Embankment.

The End

Good luck to all of you running the Marathon and watch this space for my results.
