16 down, 10 to go...


We did really well on Sunday. Just shy of 16 miles. What was really good though was the time - we completed 13.1 miles (half-Marathon) in 3 hours 30 which is the pace we need to finish the full marathon within the time limit!! It was a good feeling for both of us... still a long way to go (they say 20 miles is the true halfway point!) but we are on schedule...

As for the pic, William was being an incredibly good big brother on Saturday by having his picture taken with Pooh and Iain at Animal Kingdom :)

I noticed a few people pulling out before mile 3 with shocked looks on their faces :( ... by the halfway mark we'd managed a very respectable 3hr14m which gave us some breathing room for the 7hr cutoff time. 18 miles was our landmark - we'd not gone further than that in training... we had beaten our previous time by over an hour! I would say the last mile was probably the toughest, longest mile of our lives but the feeling at the finish line was more than overwhelming... yes, there may have been a tear or two! One of the things that motivated both of us was the crowd - hearing your name being called out by complete strangers is a little weird at first, but eventually you start to lean on the great s
