NEVER have I finished a marathon this strong.
Thank you to everyone for your kind texts, tweets, emails and Facebook messages. I've read and re-read every single one of them and they continue to make me smile. I can't even express in words how much a simple congratulations meant to me yesterday. And a big special thank you to my family - having them there made this race even more special, and I am 100% certain I would not have done it without them there.
Race report to follow....
