Thank you!!

Well today has been mostly spent with a pack of peas on my legs!

I am putting together a post about what the day was like which I will publish in a bit, I will also be going through and sorting out the winners of the sweepstake, so will be in touch with you all soon. so this post is just about the thank you's

I just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU to you all for the support, love and great messages I receive in the lead up, during and indeed after the Marathon yesterday, it was a very emotional day, with extreme highs and some overwhelming moments.

I just wanted to also thank a few special people without whom I would not have been able to get round the 26.2 miles yesterday.........

To my training partner Tracy Clarke, who braved many a cold, wet, windy winters day coming out with me on my short and longer runs, we completed a half marathon and many 10 milers together, she pushed me when I was struggling, laughed with me when I needed a pick up and generally shouted at me to get me up a hill (still hate them!)

To my parents who spent most weekdays with me and looked after the children so I could train, its a massive commitment in training and fitting it all in sometimes has been a struggle.  Thank you Mum and Dad xx

To Adam at AGW fitness who let me train for free in the gym when it was too bad weather wise to go out.

To Caroline and Mark who lent me a treadmill at home so even if I did not have babysitters I could still do some running.

To all of you who donated prizes for the sweepstake,  it bought in the money and that's the important bit!

To all of you who donated, your money will be spent wisely with my charities, and I am ecstatic that I am able to see exactly where your money is spent within the Horton Hospital.

To my Husband Mark and my two little men who have put up with me being out and about training, moaning and obsessing about all things running and marathon!

To Martin my physio at Body limits who tried to patch me together with my shin splints.

To my supporters on the day, El, Caroline, Tracy, Jessica, both sets of Parents, kids, husband, Lucy, Gayle and Vicky who trekked round London to spot me in a few places, and to my brother who was there waiting for me at the finish line.
