Marathon Woman!

I have done it!  I've run a marathon. Never thought I'd actually be able to say that but I managed it - on Saturday 4th June from Brighton to Eastbourne in just over 8 hours. 

The route took us through farmers' fields, past sheep, lambs, cows and calves. We dodged cow pats and rabbit poo.  We jogged the slopes and flats and walked up the steep hills - of which there were many.  Seven sisters and Beachy head being very dramatic.  But it's over and I raised over £300 and it's still coming in. 

We got medals and champagne and a tshirt when we arrived back at the red tent where our families were waiting. 

I feel very proud of myself now and although the legs and arms ache like mad, I would do it again!
