Positive vibes coming your way from me too

I do hope your knee settles down soon, but please don't risk long-term damage. If it isn't right, don't run, or just walk the marathon instead of running.

Thank you so much everyone for your encouragement I am feeling more positive now as the muscle in my leg that was causing the pain in my knee has improved and I have run 4 miles without any pain. Sunday is just around the corner and I get butterflies just thinking about it The weather looks like it is going to be warm and clear so fingers crossed for a good day.

[Old Speckled Hen]

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Pouring with rain here . OH set off for Fort William at 5.30am for his marathon - it's probably snowing up there .

 

Wonder what time she starts .

[Space Chick]

I thought about Rach this morning, and thought I'd see if she'd posted before she left. I hope she does OK, and look forward to hearing about it later

[Chucky Mama]

Hey guys, I am back! The most difficult thing I have ever done I managed it in just under 5 hours I have lost 4 toenails and ache like you wouldn't believe. My knee was very sore at 17 miles but I told myself that if people can walk for miles when they are ill in Africa etc for medical treatment I could get around the course. It was so hot, I did lots of drinking and throwing bottles of water on the ground like proper runners - always wanted to do that.I picked myself up and continued and the pain pretty much disappeared Bloomin' sore now though but I can now rest - for the rest of my life I WILL NOT BE DOING ANOTHER ONE

Thank you so much for all of your good wishes and positive vibes I am really touched.

[patsylabrador]

Really well done. Your poor feet.

[theherd123]

Fantastic news and congratulations!

 

Now just enough time for a nice ice bath before you call it a night!

[Space Chick]

Wow Rach, thats a fantastic time

 

I know several Marathon runners that have been unable to get below the 5 hour mark

 

Have a nice soak in a bath, and have a restful day tomorrow (try and go for a small walk though to help your muscles as you will probably be in agony )

 

Congratulations, you should feel very proud of yourself

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Huge congratulations to you .

 

Your poor feet, though . You'll be hobbling for a few days . Hope the muscles aren't too bad - keep moving (if you can!) and you may not seize up so badly (hopefully!)

 

Very proud of you - that is such an achievement .

[jlo]

What a fantastic achievement. Well done and hope you don't ache too much in the next couple of days!
