The Marathon Proper

deary me, i owe so much posting, blogging, writing, ranting.

i haven't written for a while... i think i was a little reluctant to commit to any one particular emotion before having run those 26.2 miles - unknown entities make me uncomfortable. what if i'd sounded all too confident and then screwed up, hey?

but now i can safely inform you that it was fine. the results are out and 3 hours, 38 mintes and 3 seconds, it took me. a fine time for a first-timer, might i say it myself. there was a hairy moment when my sciatic nerve tried to disobey me and screw up my knee, but this led to little more than a slow couple of miles and nothing that two nurofen plus and a bit of determination couldn't handle.

i'll write properly tomorrow for now i must really go to bed, but thank you everyone for enormous support and i am going to sleep happy in the knowledge that i am the 26th fastest woman in my age group. yeah.
