On it...

Another day passes and with much positive feedback from various friends, I feel a whole lot better about the marathon. I have to include some of the kind words I have received from my marathon 'coach' and inspiration, as they are just quality...

'You did really well & think you need reminding of reasons to be cheerful:

You finished 5,124 out of 10,875 women – top 47% (& with a knackered knee)!
You persevered through the training when you knew you had a dodgy knee & a navigator that frankly couldn’t navigate a piss head to a pub!
You finished long runs when your dodgy knee was giving you severe grief & your navigator was either making you run through bumpy fields or along dual carriage ways!
You persevered & took on the immense challenge of running 26.2 miles when you knew your dodgy knee would give you massive pain!
You beat Jordan by approximately 3 hours 28 mins…….she trained hard & let’s face it had access to a much more sophisticated support team than you!

Finally…… the best reason you should have the biggest smile on your face…… Normal life can resume & you can tuck into the odd drink or five without worrying what impact it might have on your athletic performance!'

This email made my day, along with looking back at my justgiving page to see the kind words and of course donations that I have clocked up over the last three and a half months.

An eventful last few days...my career is making good progress, my confidence is at new heights (which really is a personal milestone) and the world is pretty damn fine right now! :>)
