What a day! Great city, great support, thousands of great causes.

I'm really pleased to have finished in just short of 3hrs 46 minutes (it's true what they say about those last six miles! At mile three I was thinking I could win this! - today I feel as though someone has taken a baseball bat to my legs). Many thanks to everyone for all your donations, encouragement and support.

A little over a year ago I ran the BUPA 10k in London, having never really considered myself a runner. From there it wasn't long before I'd done a couple of half marathons and now, with London my first, I'm keen to try my legs at others.

It's a fantastic day: draining of course, but moving and inspiring above all else. So many thousands of people all with a story and a cause. London and the crowds helped me along - Tower Bridge will be an enduring memory, though there is great support all the way around - so much noise and encouragement!

Thanks once more for all of your support - it's really helped me and will surely make a difference to the support Action For Kids is able to offer their young people.
