Jez stopped and posed for a snap just before crossing Tower Bridge, I popped the pic on his Facebook page. Expect he'll be sharing a selection of images in due course. Amazing work by an amazing guy for an amazing cause.. bit gushy but totally true.
It was (as it is every year) a massive privilege to be roadside supporting the efforts of the many that raise cash to help so many more. I totally recommend going to support any big city marathon to anyone.

Ha ha the train story is dead funny. Respect for keeping the helmet on. Would have loved to have seen it. Lucasfilm thing is brilliant. Really good of them. Well done man!!
Hey guys, sorry for my absence recently but i've been kinda side tracked!
Well i did it, i managed to complete the marathon in 5hrs 00 minutes and 26 seconds.
Some might think "Oh Jez are you pissed off it wasn't sub 5hrs?"
Not on your life. I think i couldn't have done it or enjoyed it any differently. I was supported by so many amazing people, Stephen, Chris, My Family, friends from work, extended family that i had to stop to say hi and pose for photos. That was part of the fun.
Drinking was an absolute motherf##ker, i couldn't drink whilst running so i had to stop every so often and ask a nearby lady if she'd mind holding my hemet whilst i had a drink. I was massively worried about cramping out as i've been carrying a muscle injury for a month, but i managed to hang on.
All in all a fabulous experience, a combination of joy and pain throughout. I've woken up today with fresh legs but my chest, shoulders and back feel like i've gone the distance with Tyson and i've been sat on by an elephant. The armour really took it out of my upper torso.
But none of that is important. Together, between you, me and my extended friends and family, plus other random strangers from around the world we are now just £300 shy of raising £5K, 5 f##kin K!
Here are some photos i thought you might like. Apologies to those who may have seen them on FB.

I did this a lot
This is Savory100s photo. Fairly early on if i recall.
Stop for a second or 2 at the official Make A Wish cheering station at mile 22.
The finish
The medal
Guys i'm going to close the prize draw on Friday night and do the draw at the weekend. The results will be posted in the usual fashion on Sunday night!
However, my thoughts are with young Captain Dave Seath RIP, and his partner and family. It happened just in front of me. Not nice.
Death can come to any of us at any time. Hold those close to you and make a difference today. Tomorrow might be too late.

Absolutely amazing mate - that's a fantastic time especially when you consider what you were wearing and how many picture stops you made.
£5k! Wow buddy, serious fund raising and all the better because you enjoyed the experience so much - all be it tinged with sadness.
Hope you've got your feet up and you're smiling to yourself thinking about all you have achieved both personally and for the wonderful charity - you are a credit to the SW community, very well done buddy, very well done.
