[Test message written by Terry] The weather was extremely hostile - windy, wet, and cold, on Saturday, but fortunately we were running on Sunday when the conditions were perfect. Gary running his first marathon ran a very impresive 3.43. Vanessa improved her PB by more than half an hour finishing in 3.55. I stuck to my steady ten minute mile pace and made it home in 4.21. Nicola, also running her first marathon, aimed to finish in under five hours. She certainly did that, coming in at 4.42. Terry
