Helen ran the marathon yesterday:

Managed to do the marathon despite the pissing rain and my knees completely going at 20 miles (ran until then though). Had to walk last 5 miles but then found myself living out all my Chariots of Fire fantasies as I picked up speed again down the Mall.

Great experience despite my miserable time of about 5hrs 55mins and not managing to get past the two-man camel or bloke in the telephone box costume.
