Michelle Runs the Marathon!

Michelle always said she would do a marathon before she's 40 and has really committed to it this year. Well it all paid off and she ran the marathon on Monday in 4:23:24.
It was a lovely day for it not too warm no real wind and dry. Myself and Michelle went up on Sunday to the Bewleys in Ballsbridge and went to the RDS to get the number and then just lie back rested and ate pasta.
We got up early had a breakfast at about 7am with about 50 other runners and made our way to the start. Michelle was getting a little nervous but once her running buddies from the Fit for Life turned up I wished her luck and left her to it. I waited on O'Connell street to see her but missed her with the crowds of runners.
I saw her at 19 mils and she was right on target and looking very strong. I'd say when we seen her at the last corner she was running evn stronger. Ciss, Mick, Regina and Brendan and Lorcan Áine and Ciara all came up to cheer her on.
She is very proud of herself but not as proud as we are of her.
