I successfully ran the Edinburgh Marathon on Sunday in…3hr 47min 31sec!!!!!

 

Am so proud :o)

 

Not only is it a new PB (Personal Best), but I managed to cut an entire 5 mins off my London time.  I must admit that I totally fell apart from mile 18 though.  It was physical torture as the temperatures were so so hot (reports suggest 22-24degrees) with no shade the entire 26 miles and water stations were spread way too far apart.  For the first time ever in a marathon, I gave in to the temptation to walk and did so briefly three times in the latter stages.

 

It was such a relief to cross that finish line, I completely bawled my eyes out and poor Aaron didn’t know what was wrong!!! I just can’t believe that after 8 months it is finally over and I did it!!!!!!!!  :o)

 

Time to return to normal life….can you remind me what that is?? I’ve forgotten.  Hehehe.
