All done and dusted and have my medal to prove it! It was the most amazing experience and if you've ever thought, "maybe" and you have the time to follow even the Beginner's training plan like I did, go for it! On the day, the training plan kept me confident that I'd reach the end. Even when my knee ached like hell between miles 7 & 20! So I completed in 5 hours and 24 minutes. Not the fastest but hey, what else would you be doing on an autumn afternoon in London to pass the time? Plus you get to see the sights and the crowds are awesome! None more so than the last 2 or 3 miles as you come out of the tunnel at Blackfriars. Crowds cheering, music playing, all the way to the finish line. In fact, I got a blast of energy and whizzed the last 1-2 miles. Yes, I did run more than the Marathon distance 🤣. Oh well, what's a mile between friends. I've thanked everyone a hundred times as so many people kept me motivated. E
