I did it! I did it! I did it! I ran 26.2 miles in 4 hours 12 mins and - can't remember the secs -but who cares? Certainly not me at that stage. And I can still walk! Dare I say it, I'm even thinkin...

I hesitate to say this, but am almost enjoying running at the moment - now fit enough not to feel the pain while running the reducing miles during tapering and fresh enough to want to run. This lea...
