Thank you to every single person who thought of me and who supported me financially.
So far I have raised 5124.80GBP for the British heart Foundation. This is cash received from the people who had faith enough to pay "up front" and there is still the money from people who pledged money only if I completed (ye of little faith).
Last year the highest amount raised by a Heart runner was 4600 GBP.
It was extremely difficult and very painful. The muscles were OK but my knee, hip and ankle joints hurt like hell.
Finishing time was officially 5:43:44 but I spent 20 minutes walking to the start line and during this time the official clock was running.
Finishing position was 21806. Which put me in the top 2 thirds of the 33 000 starters.

David,
Well done m8. Are you doing it again next year?
It is something I would certainly like to do sometime in the near future, whilst I am still young.
How long did you train for?
Cheers,
Tom
