The previous week was spent nervously checking the weather forecast. Legs itching to run. In the final few days the carb loading commenced.

And after all those months of training the day finally came.

The sun shone (contrary to the forecast for cloud), the temperatures rose, and a record 40,382 people took part.

Some were running their first marathon, others were seasoned pros, but every member of Team GoodGym got out there and ran their very hardest. There was sweat, there was probably blood, there was sunburn and there was definitely chafing but we did it!

Special thanks too to the cheer crews who came along to support - you gave us all a boost when we needed it.
