I went to the Belgrave hotel in London. It is a four stars hotel. The Belgrave Hotel is located at 80-86 Belgrave Road in Pimlico, 0.8 miles from the center of London. Buckingham Palace is the closest landmark to The Belgrave Hotel. The Belgrave Hotel is 8.1 miles from London City. It has cost me 435 dollars.

The Marathon

The Marathon went great. I ran according my program. That was something that went great! My time was 4:23:02. The last kilometers where very heavy and I felt like I was running backwards. My legs where starting to feel really heavy but I had a good mindset and that is something that kept me going. The warmth was also something that was killing me so everytime we ran past people who gave out those water bottles I drank a bit en threw the rest over myself, just zo cool a bit down.

Traveling

I went by plane to London. The flight has cost me 264 euro's. This where the times i flew: outbound trip 10:40 - 10:55 to London Luton return trip from London southend 16:55 - 18:55. I flew from Amsterdam and I flew with easy jet. It was fine traveling by plane because it doesn't take long and I love traveling by plane.

I was really exhausted but so so proud of myself. It felt like a victory. I have followed the schedule completely, and that's why I was able to stick to it well. I directly called my girlfriend as soon as I got my phone. I even felt like crying that is how happy I was.
