Arrived in Delhi 3 days before the marathon,
My main fear of going to Delhi was the security and being safe there, being a mum of 3 I have to consider my children first,

landing in Delhi we'd heard so many stories press wise, and from people I had spoken to who had already gone to delhi, but I can honestly say I was amazed with the security, having armed guards and a designated lane for the Commonwealth Games traffic. Making all the normal traffic have to stop for us, meant no worries and no hanging about.

I flew out to Doha 10 days before race day of marathon..
The Marathon team all flew out together, myself and Andy Jones had connecting flights from manchester to Heathrow, where we met up with rest of team Ben, Holly and Helen
It wasn't the best holding camp for distance running as it was far too hot for our type of running. Luckily I was tapering down at this point, just a couple of sessions and easy running
It was good to meet up with my coach Bud and a few of the team who were still in Doha training before going into Delhi,

Feeling really good Physically, had a few scares with a foot problem. Had an MRI scan and an injection to help deal with it, luckily it wasn't as serious as a stress fracture, purely some inflamation in the muscles.

Just back from a good steady run at Bristol, ran a good marathon pace and helped to freshen the legs up after Barcelona.

Not sure my legs agreed with that though.

Managed to lose my timing chip due to the wet conditions ruining the paper fastner, got through the finish line and dragged straight off for drug testing by UKA Doping Officials, unfortunately my PH level wasn't right so had to warm down while being watched before I could redo the test an hour later.

Me and my Chocolate Charlie made the news...
