I'm here and I'm good!!! Just spent the day eating and sleeping...

Can honestly say that was one of the best things I've ever done

Thanks everyone who sponsored us... when the legs were going to jelly and it was absolutely freezing I was just thinking of you guys and remembering why we were doing this...

it did get a bit cold eh Linsey ............. I felt it cold around 2am, layered up and kept going. When the sun was up and we were tramping on it got warm again. So we stripped to our bra's when we hit the 25 mile marker around 7.10 this morning.

When Lindy got your text to say you'd finished we were walking along the beach must have been around mile 14 or so and all we thought of was how good you must have felt finishing. It seemed like we had an eternity still to go at that point.

The army guys all around the course were great, they were really geeing us on telling us we were making a sterling effort! At one point one of them asked Lindy if she'd been on vodka ........... it was after Lindy had 'hit the wall' at 23 miles. She drank a bottle of Lucozade and we kept going without slowing down and 5 minutes after drinking it she got a wee buzz. When the army guy cheered us on Lindy shouted and waved like a loony back at him and he burst out laughing. By that point everyone else had little energy and the 2 of us were like Duracell Bunnies God knows where we found the energy we had over the last couple of miles we were overtaking everyone and really finished on a high.

Well done to Jennifer too (Hudsons mum) passed her on Portobello Beach when there was around 7 miles or so to go.

I was thinking of you girls as I crossed the finish Marcy...

I also thought of you all when we were holding hands before we started - I had a wee tear in my eye (understatement)... and I thought... I bet Lindy will cry too!!!

I'm still feeling a bit emotional at the moment, but I'm putting it down to exhaustion, and maybe PMT!

yeah, when we had the minute silence all holding hands it was very emotional.

Then as we crossed the finish line Lindy and I were holding hands again up in the air cheering then as I turned round to Lindy the tears were flowing and it was a case 'OH Marcy this is really emotional' It was, a mixture of exhaustion, relief and feeling proud of ourselves for completing it.

Ok crying again what night it was totally the best experience and I'm glad I had my pals with me to do it with We had such a hoot but quite a lot of quiet time to reflect all the way thought and it was surprisingly quiet even though 12000 people were walking, watching the sun rise as we walked along the beach was stunning and worth the 11/12 miles we had walked just to see that. Walking over that finish line with Marcella was just amazing we had massive smiles on our faces, we were totally shattered but had walked like a steam train to get to the finish as fast as we could and we did not too bad finished in 7.30 hrs I had tears streaming down my face it's such a strange feeling to cross the line. Izzy finished a bit behind us as her feet had started to get sore so she wanted to take it a wee bit slower and she did great at 8hrs 10mins. We all did it much quicker than our estimated 8.30 to 9 hrs. Like Marcella said the squaddies kept you going and I had that guy near the end in stitches with my big smiley hello but I had got my energy back after my wee bottle of lucozade which am really glad I took as I had started feeling dizzy and nauseous and it did the trick and ave me that buzz I needed to push onto the end.

Well done girls we all did great here's to next year
