On Sunday the 21st of April, Daisy and I completed the Virgin London Marathon. The times achieved were 4:13 and 4:36, which we were both very pleased with. The weather was warm and sunny which made the run slightly more challenging but cold showers were sprayed at runners along the course to cool us down! Spectators were also offering sugary treats and fruit throughout the race to keep our energy levels up. The amount of spectators and support along the course was overwhelming and made the Marathon a great event to be a part of. It was amazing to see such a wonderful turnout, despite the tragic events of the Boston bombings a week prior to the event. All runners wore a black ribbon to show support for the people affected by the bombings.
We have almost reached our fundraising target of £3400 for our charity SportsAid which we may even exceed if people continue to donate.
We both agree that this will be an experience we will never forget and loved being a part of.
Thankyou to all that have donated and supported us throughout our training :-)
