So will I run again?

Of course!

My exact time for any who are interested in these things was 1 hour 54.02 minutes! I came 159th out of 686 female runners, so perhaps I can aim to be in the top 100 next time (hmmm….!)

It was a great experience, and I have ordered some new trainers so I can take to the streets again in the not too distant future. Does the marathon appeal? Absolutely not; I like this distance and it suits me fine for now.

Congrats to all those who ran so well on Sunday - all 3,500 of us - and to quote today’s local gazette - ‘Strain, pain and miles of smiles’!
