Overjoyed to have completed my first Marathon, and delighted at my time, slightly slower than I was hoping for,but as it was my first one I can't complain at all.
I hadn't had the best run up to it, I did get chance for some warm weather training but 5 days after getting back my dad passed away suddenly, and it threw everything up in the air.
I was in two minds about doing London at all, but after talking to his friends and my family I decided it's what he would have wanted, he was desperate for me to do it, so I did it for him with his wedding ring pinned to my top for the race.
