For those who like statistics: I finished in 4 hours 10 minutes. I did the first 10k in 53 minutes exactly (it was partly downhill) and the half marathon in 1 hour 55 mins. Then everything started stiffening up and I lost time having to stop to stretch. The last 10k was painfully slow (literally!). It was a lovely sunny day in Edinburgh but a bit warm for running!

I’d liked to have done under 4 hours but I’m really pleased to have been able to finish. Maybe I will do one more marathon sometime!

Thanks to your generosity, we will have raised over £1,500 divided between Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) and The Daisy Garland who both do excellent work.
