London Marathon 2008 – 5 Min Video Diary!

Last word on the London Marathon I promise!

I had my phone with me and took a few videos on the way around.

It gives you an idea of the trepidation, noise, crowds, furry animals, weather and the emotion of the whole affair.

Once again thanks for all the support and pledges…..together we raised £7k!

I look forward to sponsoring you all doing it next year! 🙂

You have to beat 5hrs 43mins 36secs!

Post London Marathon Recovery Tip

Thanks for the many emails and calls asking how I’m feeling. 🙂

The pain of recovery is best described by my friend Kevin Edwards who warned me:

“The worse thing is being unable to get off the toilet. Make sure you have something to hang onto, to help pull yourself up!”

What a day! My knees hurt, I’ve lost a toenail but I’m alive and I beat the rhinos!!!

I’ll jot down a bit more later in the week when I can walk, and I’ll post some more photos!

Thanks for all the support, calls, texts, writings on my wall (!) and of course, all the sponsorship………….laters!
