Thanks to every-one who supported us - It makes a huge difference and keeps you going through those tougher miles

It was a fantastic weekend

I completed the course with friends Margot and Andy in 4 hours 40minutes and 40 seconds.

It reached 25c at times but the people of Edinburgh had their hose pipes and sprinklers on to keep us cool and distract us from our aches and pains. The atmosphere was brilliant and because the course looped back on itself we were able to support our fellow Macmillan and Southport Waterloo team mates running in the opposite direction

Ian and the hairy haggis relay team (Carole, Ian, Clive and Shelia) completed the marathon course in a fantastic time of 4hours and 1 minute (unofficial tbc). Rumour has it there was a quick detour to the pub before some some team members met up at the finish. Special thanks to Carole for organising the team.

The Macmillan supporters were amazing and constantly supported us on route and looked after us at the finish with a massage and a cup of tea

Thanks again to all, a very special and emotional day

I was the 58th lady in the Inter-counties Letty fell race and our Merseyside team was 13th overall. I completed the course in a time of 2hours 7 minutes (8 minutes faster than I had hoped)

RAISING MONEY FOR MACMILLAN - thanks for your support

Why do a marathon?

I'm not sure really, endless training, exhaustion, blisters?

This is a chance to run for something greater than just myself

To run with friends and support a fantastic charity that has made a huge difference to the lives of people I know

Running for friends past and present and to make sure the support is always there in the future

Please support Macmillan and the team members from Southport Waterloo AC

9 runners including my husband Ian and 3 others who are competing in the "Hairy Haggis Relay" (plus 2 supportive husbands)

The Hairy Haggis relay runs along side the marathon and the team of 4 will complete the marathon course between them

Things don't always go to plan!

This has turned out to be a weekend extravaganza

Starting in Wales on Saturday for the

Inter-counties Lletty Fell race where I shall be representing Merseyside
