Here's a couple of pics. The rest are on facebook.

and heres the official photographs Marathon Photos --- 2011 Plymouth Half Marathon

Not sure if I can upload a video onto here but its on my fb anyways the woman shouting 'go girl' is my mum! lol

My right calf has gotten worse over the course of today. My bum is also aching but still very much on a high and sooooo looking forward to my indian later. I have been so hungry today.

Yesterday all I had was my porridge, banana, a few black magic chocolates and 1/2 battered sausage & 1/2 portion of chips. My calories came from alcohol

OMG Tan! That 'report' choked me up!!

Photos are fab - will have a look on FB in a bit. Your aches and pains will soon pass, but hope the high stays with you for a while xx

Just caught up with your posts here and on FB Tan, wanted to say well done again! Now what babes? Obviously you're going to carry on running that's a given, are you going to try for a full marathon or just run purely for pleasure?

If anyone deserves to eat what they like for a little while, it's you!

Very well done on completing the half marathon! What an achievement and I thought the parachute jump was bad enough!!

So, so chuffed for you. You deserve all the praise you are getting and more. The figure you raised is fantastic. Brilliant!!

 

[kered]

Tanya, I too had a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye reading your report.......massive Congratulations to you again on such a tremendous journey since you first started LT. Bravo girl.........xxxx

The pics are fantastic, just seen a little of the official video and will catch up with your FB stuff later.

Loving THAT menu - you so deserve it like Bev said.

I have officially crashed & burned.
I feel completly drained. So drained that i'm tempted to phone in sick tonight for work. I havnt been off sick in over 2 years though ....

I just want to get back into my bed and curl up and sleep forever!!!!

 

[JanD]

Oh dear ..... do what you need to do hon - hope you soon feel back on form xxx

 

[summergurl]

I hate phoning in sick though I always feel like they think i'm faking it. To top it ive heard its real busy tonight too :sigh: what to do what to do!x

 

[JanD]

I know exactly what you mean - I'm the same. Some people would say that you don't get any better thought of for braving it and going in. Only thing is - in your shoes, assuming they know about the half-marathon they may see it as self-inflicted or take the mick when you go back. Dilemma hon .. bummer! xx

 

[summergurl]

I didnt even think that they'd take the mick that I phoned in sick after my half marathon

I have phoned in and told them I wont be in. Feel guilty for it but hey ho. x

 

[JanD]

Oooops!! ... sure they won't .... any way who cares?!

Fact is you're not fit to work and I wouldn't mind betting loads of them have been off for far less. Probably hangovers etc - so- as I've said to you - although I totally understand and agree with the work ethic, sometimes we can take it too far. Enjoy a night or 2 off and make sure you get a good rest!!! xxx

 

[summergurl]

Oh now im panicking that theyre all guna think im a whimp after my first ever race really I shouldnt be panicking about losing face. Defo have to go back tomorrow now no matter what! LOL x

 

[JanD]

Oh God now I feel really bad for putting the thought in your head when it might not be what they think at all

*****slinks off to bed with tail between legs*****

Sorrrrrreeeeeeeee xx
