Had a nightmare from 10 - 20 with 4 loo breaks! Never mind, it's all part of the fun. Great to speak to Raps afterwards and find out that he'd had a brill run with Fans. Also lovely to see Lums sprint over the line, arms aloft, after he'd had a bit of a mare in the final few miles. OB crossing the line, taking her new friend's hand, so that they crossed together. We were all crying as soon as we saw her enter the stadium. It definately puts my whinging about not getting a sub-4 into perspective. Well done to everyone who ran today and massive thanks to everyone on this thread to has posted their support and kept tabs on how we all done today. I do love Fetch and Fetchies. mm xx
