$Yesterday\'s marathon was incredible, and something that will stay with me forever. My time was about 4hrs 26mins which was slower than I\'d wanted in my secret plan (sub-4hrs was the goal), but the weather was too much for me. Not rain & cold, but too much sun! My shoulders, neck & head are all bright red and I had sunstroke last night. Back on track today, though. HUGE thanks to my brother, my parents, Al & Ann for turning out to cheer me on, and special thanks to Hazel for looking after me last night, too. Time for sightseeing now.$

Congrats. I actually checked out your time last night on the Flora site. I knew you would struggle in the sun as you, like me, have pathetic translucent Scottish skin. I didn't make it up to see you as the crowds were insane, and I am not much of a crowd person. Still, we watched Paula have a pee on telly, and kept our eyes open (in vain) for you. Congratulations! Good time considering the weather. What is next?

Fabulous!! I'm so proud of you... I knew you could do it! Congratulations! Do your feet hurt? Mine do just thinking about your run. You're an inspiration.... yet I think I'll stick to my "5 mph at 1.0 incline" on the treadmill for now :-)
