I DID IT!!!
Wow, Reality still has not set in, so I have to keep looking at my medal to remind myself that I Michelle Mitchell ran and finished the Flora London Marathon on its 25th Anniversary.
Miles 12-15 were a killer taking about an hour and 6 minutes. All my old injuries came back. My pulled stomach muscle was not to bad, but the pain in my left leg (ligament) and again the ligament at the back of left knee were hard to cope with.
I walked and jogged home in
5:27:10
10km----1:06:25
20km----2:18:45
1/2-------2:26:53
30km----3:47:41
40km----5:10:27
Finish----5:27:10
Today as expected I'm very sore and stiff. and also very sunburnt (does not take much for an irish lass)
A huge thank you to everyone who suported me.
I'll post more of the gooray details later :-)

Congratulations!! I kept looking out for you, thinking that we'd be near the same pace, but never saw you. I did get to run with blogger Laura for a little bit on the Isle of Dogs. I hope you're taking lots of hot baths today!
Really well done, especially when the injuries set in.
Our split times are almost identical to half way, we must have been side by side without even knowing.
Congratulations.
Well done!! Congrats!!
Finishing a marathon is a major achievement, I am very impressed, well done!
Michelle,
Well done! It must have been a struggle with your injuries. You've had quite an adventure... hope the body is slowly recovering.
Well done ,
rather you than me !!!!
Good to see you also beat your target total .
Well done! I had problems with old injuries as well, and the following day my right shin had ballooned to double it's usual size. What a strange and fantastic experience though! Wonderful weather (burnt 'n'aw), and outstanding support.
To anyone who is thinking of running a Marathon, I give you a one word description of the event:
humbling
WELL DONE!
WELL DONE
