Well just got back after all the queue's getting away from the finish line.

I have one black toe nail on one foot, three black toe nails and a bloody trainer on other foot, my knee feels like its been whacked with an axe, but apart from that the run was a blast!

I managed to pass the Army guys tabbing with there back packs, outran a giraffe, a duck, two people dressed up as water taps but couldn't catch the guy pulling a rickshaw!

Sorry to say I didn't win it!

Out of 55000 starters I came 36,318th

Completed in 2 Hrs 49 mins

Surprisingly the age and gender results (55-59) put me at 1001th!

Thanks to all who sponsored me.

Snadger has left the building.............(Maybe a full marathon is more my distance?)

I've no idea how long the sposorship line will stay open before its distributed to the Crohn's people?
Had a warm welcome in the Crohn's and Colitis UK tent at the end of the race, but the queue's were a bit long for a free massage which I quite fancied.
