I passed Nell McAndrew at about 24 miles. It was funny, though - I had my name on my vest...I had to laugh because the crowd were shouting my name, not hers, as I passed her (as they hadn't recognised her!)!
One of the nice moments from the supporters vantage point: someone said, oh look, there's Jeffrey Archer over there. Not one of us raised a cheer for him.
Yup, I beat Archer, Janine from Eastenders, Lorraine Kelly, and Charles Ingram (who I had a rather strange conversation with around the 14 mile mark when he was walking).
Like Mersey Man, I don't care about the celebs. I am a hero because I finished (and without stopping to walk once!)
Well done Charlotte for not walking. I started off too fast (as always, you'd think I'd learn by now) and ended up walking/jogging from about 11 miles.
And still didn't beat Janine or Archer. (close though)
i remember overtaking floella benjamin and bubble from big brother, think i easily beat people like lorraine kelly aswell. wanted to catch up with Nell, nevermind !
Was pleased to beat Lorraine Kelly, Jeffery Archer and the "Major"
Just missed out beating Eastenders Janine as she finished just a few seconds in front of me - but as she is over 15 years younger and probably 4 stone lighter than me I didn't feel too bad about it!
I passed Lorraine Kelly quite early on, and am glad to see I beat Jeffrey Archer too. If I had run the last mile at about 7 mins, I think I could have beaten IDS too, but couldn't quite manage to welly it enough. Just turned the corner and heard his name over the tannoy system.

Wait a sec, I'm surprised any of the guys even SAW you.
Made me smile

Er... sorry Graham.
I was impressed with Nell McAndrews time of 3 hours 22 mins.....
Impossible is nothing!

But when did Jeff Archer get time to train for a marathon when he was in the pokey ??????????
Well, I beat Jeffery Archer
finished behind Nell McAndrew
Sadly too far behind for a nice view !
Ooooo I like a fit woman.
Did anyone see ingram ?
Were the crowds coughing ?
Didn't notice IDS so nothing new there.
