What an interesting weekend!

First things first, let’s start by saying thank you to Dressability for allowing me to represent them in the LondonMarathon2025 – it was both a privilege and an honour.

Thank you to everyone who came along for the ride! Whether it was a generous donation or a message of encouragement, I couldn’t have got here without you!

It’s been a journey that I’ll never forget – from training in the rain to hitting new PBs; nothing can mentally prepare you for race day. From the amazing crowds to the sheer volume of people, my only advice to anyone thinking about participating is to do it! Just remember: put one foot in front of the other, run your own race, and have an experience you will remember forever!

My race had its ups and downs – from being tripped in the first 5k (accidentally, I don’t blame anyone) to iconic moments like running over Tower Bridge and, of course, crossing the finish line; finding yourself smiling at all the amazing people brave enough to be in costumes, even meeting the wall and saying, “Today I will not quit!”

An honourable mention to my mother – she’s supported me every step of the way, from stupidly early trains throughout the course of half marathons in cities around the South West leading up to London , to lugging my bag all day yesterday. Thank you!!

So once again – thank you to everyone who made this possible – we did it!

London Marathon 2025 – 3:54:37 – mission accomplished.
