SMASHED! Marathon after thoughts!

Just to let you all know I SMASHED my time last year in London by 17 minutes! I also SMASHED by PB by 7 minutes! And I have currently SMASHED my target sponsorship (so far) by 64%.

I thoroughly enjoyed the race (yes that was possible!) and so pleased by lots of things. To summarise a few bits;

Highlights - time, sponsorship monies, that I did not walk and that the last 0.2 miles was at 5 minute mile pace.....after running 26 miles!

Most Pain - when I went through a shower during the race and the sweat got in my eyes and I could not see for over 30 seconds (which seemed like eternity)!!!

Fly Man - following a man dressed up as a fly for 10 miles (before I overtook him!) and getting really annoyed as ALL the crowd were shouting FLY MAN, which seemed too much like Simon and therefore I could not here anybody trying to encourage me

Wish I had - given Vicki and Mum a hug on the way around (too worried too stop just incase I could not get going again!)

Will I ever do another marathon.....I guess so!
