THE DAY BEFORE
The Wall (not the one they hit at 20 miles... the message wall). We found you Phil/Leigh!
AND THEY ARE OFF!
Waiting expectantly at cheering point 1.....
wait for it.... wait for it.... he's gone.....
(if you are this annoying woman in the way - I am cursing you, I am cursing you!), unless you are also a bcc supporter in which case... GO BREAST CANCER CARE!
and here is the support team in full-on cheering mode for another Breast Cancer Care runner....
CHEERING POINT 2
Hopefully, the BCC team has snatched a photo of James at cheering point 2 - I was too busy stealing that "Keep going kiss" and all I managed on the photo front was this....
A leprechaun and a nun and James's trainers sporting his champion chip!
Never mind, onto point 3.
EMBANKMENT
Breast Cancer Care did a good job of spotting him and taking a great thumbs up photo
again, all I stole was a kiss.... but as I was there as a supporter that was my job.
Then onto the finish line and meeting him at the Post race reception.
IT'S OVER - YOU MADE IT!
Excitement (me) and relief (James)....... and again another kiss... all these public displays of affection, shocking!
Then there are the support teams (I am not sure why I am so proudly holding a bit of cake!!!!!!!)
And finally My Hero!!!!
I was just so proud as punch, and still am buzzing 3 days on.

Hi Dawn,
Hope you have both recovered from the excitement/stress of the marathon. What a great achievement from both of you - well done. Also some very touching words, especially in James's blog - they really put the whole thing into context.
Was also pleased to see another outing for the Mrs Wild T-shirt - matched James's vest perfectly!
lots of love
