Hope there won't be too many people around...
Feeling strangely calm. I know I said I probably wouldn't be on line again but vacuuming now in case mother comes tomorrow!
Off to bed soon. Feel a bit tired after doing virtually nothing all day!
Good night and good luck!
What are you doing with your change of clothes?
Couldn't figure out how to put my chip on my shoe - done it now though.
Just came up with a great idea though - thought I would walk the first 5 miles and then run 20 cos I know I can run that far. That way I won't be too tired for the after show party!
Debbs - I am feeling strangly calm now too.
C U all in the morning will join you for a jog in the streets of london tomorrow as long as you are intending to go over 26.2.miles
nite nite
GOOD LUCK
Over and out
I really hope it goes well for you all tomorrow and that you have a fab time and good runs too!
I'll be thinking of you as I sit in front of the telly!!
You'll all have to think of us who are doing Lochaber next weekend.
Getting ready to spend the morning watching the telly, best of luck and positive thoughts to everyone.
Potting shed - what a shame - sorry to hear that.
Looking forward to hearing all your results. What a great day and the weather was lovely, hope not too hot for you all.
It was so good to finally meet most of you! Sorry I lost you all, one minute I was getting a lucozade drink and the next I could not see you!
Think I need to join a sub 6 forum though. Finished the marathon in 5hrs 40 in the end!
Come on everyone else - we're in suspense here!!
Managed 5 hours (I think!!). Absolutely fantastic atmosphere, loved the whole thing.
Foot held out pretty well after the injury problems of the past 5 weeks. Tired, but exhilerated.
Well done everyone who ran today and good luck to next week's marathon runners.
Cup of tea and bed soon, I think!
Thank you all for your support and encouragement and thanks to everyone who turned up today to shout our names and keep us going. You are stars!!! As are all the people who did it, whatever time each of us did.
No, my knees tell me it was real.
have never run long in that hot weather - completely threw me, as did the incredible support from the very beginning, so i went out too fast despite all the warnings - got absorbed into high-fiving all the little kids.
missed support team at mile 17, but saw husband and daughters at hotel at mile 18 which was a real boost
very very heavy legs from 19 to 24 and then the crowds got me on automatic to get in at I think 5h 05. when i looked at my garmin it said i'd actually run 28.89miles at 10.44 pace, so i was well pleased, tho a bit sorry not to officially go under the magic five.
so so sorry not to have met peeps at clarendon hotel - ended up catching train from south quays to greenwich and finding myself at blue start without enough time to go backwards to find hotel
i don't think i'll ever get over the amazing crowds shouting our names, or the incredible support from all you guys
off to bed - look forward to hearing from all tomorrow
So much for Pen 8. I was still queueing for the loo at 9:45 so just had to file in at the back with the Cornish Pasties when I finally emerged! The crowds were amazing - at times it was like running through a football stadium it was so loud!
I started to get really tired at 23 miles, but as it was so close to the end I held on in there. First (and last) marathon completed in 4:45:46. I feel like I've broken my feet in 17 places!
Haven't watched the video yet, but have heard this fantastic rumour that Paula Radcliffe stopped for wee at the side of the road, in front of the whole world, at mile 22!!
Good luck to our Lochaber Ladies for next week.
