Today I cried ( a lot!!)
I did It!! London Marathon 2013: What An Amazing Experience:
Today I cried!! When I left my husband at the train station to go to the start of the London Marathon.
Also I cried when I was all alone at the start of the London Marathon.
When I realised I was doing my first marathon.
I started to cry when the marathon started.
I also did a big cried when children in the street wanted to high five me for running.
I might have done a little cried when I got to 13 miles and my knees went.
Then I cried when I realised I had to do another 13 miles with knee pain.
So I cried when I had 2 miles to go.
Again I cried when I had 1 mile to go.
I cried when I did it in 5 hours 12 mins approx.
Also I cried when I met my family at the end.
I have had a great day honest!!
What it feels like when you run London Marathon, ha!!

Aww Claire. I've been thinking about you since you are a runner & we had such a terrible tragedy at the Boston marathon. I'm so glad you did it…your post almost made me cry. When you give yourself a tough challenge there's nothing more vindicating than meeting it! You should be proud, sounds like a good cry.
Thank you Amy, my thoughts throughout were at Boston too ,,,

Congratulations on your achievement Claire! I am so happy for you! Running a marathon is huge, like really, really big. And you did it. On your own, but with many, many people cheering you on; people at the sidelines, and people who couldn't actually be there, but cheered you on in our hearts!Sue xo
This is so lovely, thank you Sue 🙂
