Just thought I'd let you all know I took part in and finished my third Marathon yesterday. It's the second Belfast City Marathon I've done and I did the New York one in November. It was a good day for the run, slightly overcast, though I still managed to get a bit of sun on the parts I missed with the sunscreen! I knocked 26 minutes off my time compared to last year, finishing in 4hours, 4 mins and 30 secs! My four running partners and I managed to raise over £1,000 (approx $2,000) for Womens Aid, a charity that deals with physically and mentally abused women, a cause which many of you know is very dear to my heart. My body is sore all over today but the accomplishment of achieving another medal for my collection makes it all worth while.

Any other runners out there?

Great job Maureen!

The last time I ran was out to the shed and I was winded before I left the porch.

Thanks everyone. It's always pretty tough at sometime throughout the race but the spectators along the route are a fantastic help. People clapping and cheering you on give you such boost and lift the spirit when it's flagging!
