Caution - shameless brag post ahead.
And copious full stops.
For. Ty. Two. Point. Two. Kil. Om. Et. Res.
(with particular emphasis on the 'kil')

| Watch this space! Fighting words - while really petrified! |
I did it!
I did it!
I. Did. It!
(Ran the Perth Marathon, if you're wondering!)
So, my spoken goal was 3hrs 45mins.
My unspoken, mental goal was 3hrs 30mins.

| Oh - the sheer glamour of it all! |
My time was
3hrs 27mins 4?secs
(knew I'd forget to stop my watch!)
I was the ninth female to finish - which was an unexpected bonus.
Much better than steak knives.
I'm happy.
Very, very happy.
I'm sore.
Very, very sore.

Thank you to absolutely everyone for your support.
I promise not to mention the word 'marathon'
more than once a week here from now on!
Well, I can try.
Thank you to my gorgeous Hubby and Magoo who truly are the real champs.
(How come they can walk, then?!)

Oh well done Shar! What a fabulous effort. You should be shouting it from the roof tops and very proud of your achievement.
I ran 7km (in sand) today and it almost killed me. Small steps, as I always say ;o)
Hope you get a chance to rest up a bit and the blisters aren't too punishing in the days to come xo
Way to go. You are sensational : )
Congratulations!!!!! What a huge achievement. Hope you can walk today. You must be VERY proud.
Love the Motts
Farking brilliant, Shar! I just read your grateful post and almost fell over my keyboard trying to get to this post to see how it went!
BRILLIANT!!!! x
You little ripper Shar! I am so very impressed. I haven't been on the computer the last couple of days and have raced here to see how you went. Better than your 'secret' wish time?!!!!? Ninth lady!!!!! You totally rock. Congrats! I am definitely doing City to Surf now. PS: Link this up at Keep Cate Busy's brag post today xxx
