I Did It!!

26.2 miles later and I have the aches, pains and the medal to prove that 

I completed the Moon walk in London this weekend.

My little one, her best friend (my borrowed daughter) and I 

arrived in Hyde Park and joined the 1/2 mile queue to get into the 

"Pink City".

Inside the biggest Pink tent you have ever seen

it was divided into sections depending on what colour 

start you were. We were  Yellow start which was the first to leave thankfully.

This was taken fairly early,

By 10pm it was standing room only inside the tent.

Some of the other ladies from the Rossi's team and

 we managed to stay together for most of the way.

We were a fair way back at the start and

 took 5 minutes to actually get through the start gate.

Counting down.

And off we go. The first 5 miles went very quickly

as we went down the Mall and out towards the City of London

Past St.Pauls

 and The London Eye

before heading up to Battersea Park 

and the back streets of Chelsea.

By this stage it had got really cold and everyone was

very tired , feet burning, shoulders, hips and knees hurting

and totally convinced the organisers had put the mile markers

further than 1 mile apart.

By the time we got back to Buckingham Palace with 3 miles to go

the Sun was up

And this was the most welcome site of the night

except the last .2 of a mile was uphill.

The welcome back was great

 but of course the one photo I forgot to take was the one

of me and my 2 girlies at the end.

Fantastic to have completed it and as a team we have raised over £3,000

so thank you to those of you who sponsored me.
