I am not crying are you crying??? 🤣🥹😭🥰

From the mind blowing world records to the 2 beautiful brothers running for their mum and now own dementia diagnosis and eveyone in between ... You are simply AMAZING 👏

Team, stop watching the negative news and feeds and do what millions of people have done today .. Come together as humans!!

Surround yourself with positive vibes and be nice, we really aren't that complicated if we just allow the happiness in 💕

Next year is looking like a 2 days event so maybe it be could be your chance?

Don't tell yourself you are not a runner.. nobody starts out as a runner / jogger / plodder ... They just start 👏

Good luck to eveyone running the London Marathon on Sunday 🇬🇧

A few tips if you want them (the 1st 2 made all the difference for me in Manchester) ...

* Do not 'shave off 10 seconds' from your pace .. in miles that equates to 4 mins off your training time and it could see you hit the wall bad (this ruined my New York Marathon experience)

* Just count 1 mile at a time.. all the way through Mancher I told myself get to mile 10, 11, 12 etc not ... big jumps. My 1st time doing this and each mile seemed to come up way sooner and I had a brilliant run🙏

* Keep your head up smile and engage with the crowds and your fellow runners .. this is such a beautiful distraction 😍

Finally if its your 1st time its your PB no matter what, so chase the experience not the time. Its not a PB kinda run for anyone so I would actually advise this to everyone 👌

It is a truly awesome experience go out and love every step you amazing humans 🇬🇧🏃🏾‍♂️🏃🏼‍♀️🎽

Do what makes you happy & healthy my friends 💕

NEVER GIVE UP!!!

As most of you know I thought my marathon days were over ! I hadn't done one for 6 years before NYC last November due to injuries and menopause related rubbish 🙄

Even though NYC was brilliant I found it so so hard from mile 18 (it really messed up my head) and again said I was done until I got invited back on a good for age place 🙄🤣

Booking on the Manchester marathon 4 weeks ago was a very risky tactic, BUT wanted to test myself mentally for NYC 2026 one way or another... also hoping as a bonus to prove I still was a sub 4hr runner 🙏

Well the result was BRILLIANT I had the best time, you can see from the photos ✌️

I ran and chatted the first 15 miles with Kirby who smashed her 1st marathon, I smiled all the way, engaged with the crowds, high fived the kids, chatted to strangers and comfortably kept my pace exactly where it needed to be the whole way.

Never give up and Never listen to the doubters especially your own doubts .. here's a list of 'reasons' I could have just given up...

2 spinal surguries
Diagnosed Chari malformation aged 40
1st marathon aged 44
Repeated Achillies injuries
Menopause bastardness
General life 🤣

All these things make me push forward not back, each and every challenge makes me so happy and grateful that my little old body can still most definitely 'Do epic s**t'.

Sundays marathon even qualified me for Boston, New York and Sydney marathons for 2027 .. if anyone would like to sponsor me for Sydney that was be great 🤔🤣🙏

If you would like to work with me for motivation be it to stand taller, walk around the block, run a 5k or even a marathon then drop me a line and let's do Epic S**t together 😀

A special shout out to Vikki, Kirby, Rob, Milli, Christine and the Crazy B's 🤪 You were all amazeballs ###
