Don't stop me now.....'cause I'm having a good time!!

Oh my good God. That was the most amazing experience ever!!

I can't believe I've run the London Marathon!! Official time 5 hours, 1 minute and 46 seconds. I knew I was having a good run and was on for about 5 hours so I pushed as hard as I could over the last 10k for a sub five hour finish, but it wasn't to be. If only I hadn't stopped for a wee......!!

It's true what they say about the supporters too- them 'Cock-en-eys' really are fantastic. There wasn't a point on the course where there wasn't supporters shouting my name- especially over the last couple of miles it was awesome!!! Got to see Floela Benjamin too, overtook her on Tower bridge!- life doesn't get any more exiting than that I can tell you. Masai warriors were great too.

See you all next year!!!! Thinking about running it in fancy dress. If only I had the thighs for a wonder woman outfit....Wonder if Mrs Shaunie is up for that?!!!!
