Marathon number 7, and major number 2 under the belt. A day of mixed fortunes with stomach problems kicking in around the 10 mile mark meaning I couldn’t eat any gels and had to limit the amount of water I drank for fear of being sick. Accepted my sub 3 hour dream wasn’t on, but managed to run 3.13.29 and take 11 minutes off my PB. I’ve never previously thought I wouldn’t finish a race, but that was very much the case for long periods. Delighted with the way I managed to hang on in difficult circumstances. Finished 2951 out of just shy of 42000 runners. As always a truly phenomenal job from my support team on the left. A truly amazing lady. As the saying goes there’s a team behind every individual performance, and I’m blessed to have the best support team in the business. After 4 years of travelling the globe running marathons, it would be a dream come true to run sub 3 on home soil. Roll on Stirling next May. Off to get wrecked now…….
