Hinchy 1st marathon. After little training in the last month and a half prior, I wan't prepared fully. A big shame as training had been going well. 
Got cramp at 19 miles and had to walk the last 7. The weather was horrendous - rain and cold winds didn't help. Flet like giving in so many times but soldiered on and limped home in pain. Still I am very proud looking back - i kept going and made it. Conditions and preparations can't get worse than this. 
I will be returning to the usual half marathons for a while but I will do another marathon in the future and hopefully run it all! Unaffiliated 5:19:00 5:19:00 4:55:00 5:19:00 38.80
