I have just checked the London Marathon website and I am happy to say that Marianne completed the race in 5 hours 52mins 16 seconds.

WELL DONE TO YOU GIRL!!

[Scubee]

well done, Marianne.

We watched it and looked out for you, but didn't see you.

[PeeBee]

Fantastic Marianne, well done, hope you don't hurt too much.

[Kent Tooling]

Well done M, for the brilliant effort

Is she now counting the blisters on her sore feet

Just think of the poor chap doing the course in a robot suit it is going to take about 4 days, it is the same person who done the course in an OLD DIVING SUIT a few years back.

I have just spoken to M on the phone and she asked me to say thank you and that she is currently laid flat out on her bed with black toes and she is trying to find some part that doesnt ache. She will try and get on the computer later.

Thanks everyone for your mesages of support.

I had a great time. OK so I'm not the worlds fastest runner but I don't care. My aim was to get under 6 hours which I did. I actually ran an hour quicker than last time (2005)

I set out real slow as planned and ran to 14 miles without stopping. I then struggled so ran and walked a few miles. Then got running again for the last few miles.

Apart from some very attractive black toes nails I seem to have got off lightly. No blisters just some aching muscles. Not sure I'll be able to move in the morning.

I need to say a huge thank you to John (Jonny200) who trained me both for Tough Guy and London. He worked really hard getting my training plans right and had to endure a lot of whinging from me.

Also thanks to Skilly (Divermedic) Yas (Yazzyfooty) and Lee (Diving Moose) who have all been there for me.

And thanks to everyone who has sponsored me. If you haven't already paid up now would be a good time to do so.

Paid up and doubled it to £20... well done MJH hope to see you on wednesday.
