    you lot are amazing - i didn't even know my finish time properly until i came on here (forgot my watch - d'oh!!)

    i had a fab day - i can't believe how close sally and i were in time!! It would have been good to run together but we were on different starts.....

    It was incredibly hot, but the crowds were just fantastic and really kept me going!

    Dd has just run me a hot bath - so off for a much needed soak!

    I overtook katie price and peter andre at 8.5 miles......and thankfully stayed well ahead of them after that :t

    :t ..............................

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Did you boot her as you went past?
