Edinburgh Vrtual Marathon - Done!

[Khab2020]

Hi. I completed my first marathon last Sunday and would like a lovely new badge please.

It was tough going in the heat but what a great experience. I was lucky enough to have a great bunch of friends who helped out with water supplies and running with me for some of the way. They also set up a finish line at the Discovery in Dundee and a celebration party afterward. What a day!

I completed C25K almost exactly 1 year ago and like many others it has been a transformational change in my life. I have taken lots of advice and inspiration from these forums. I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all the amazing people who post their stories, adventures and journeys and also the administrators for all their work helping others.

Now, what's next 🤔?

The last 10k was tough but funny how quickly you start to forget how tough .

Congrats on your first Marathon! That's a serious achievement, especially in the heat.

Congratulations on running your first marathon, the word 'marathon' should soon appear next to your username, if not tell the administrations that you have run your first marathon.

[Khab2020 Marathon in reply to sparky66]

I'm not sure a glass of fizz was the best idea at the finish but maybe it has electrolytes in it

😜.

I've signed up for next year's Edinburgh Marathon as it would be great to experience a proper event. Ultra?
