I've finished Flora London Marathon!

I did it. It is unbelievable. I really did it. It was the most tiring experience in my life. I'll remember 26th of April 2009 for a long time.

Pain is temporary, pride is forever.

Lukasz before Flora London Marathon I've ran for 4 hours 13 minutes and 29 seconds with just one stop for toilet. My overall position was 13751 of total 35247 runners that have finished. See my London Marathon result on official website.

Hard training and previous races didn't prepare me for this experience. My longest run to date was a half marathon. And I was fine for first 15 miles. But on Canary Wharf my knees has started aching and after 20th mile my tights and hip-joints were all hurting. After that it was all about mind over body. Body wanted to stop but I have a will and determination to pursue forward.

I was 8th amongst all runners from Poland. I was faster than many UK celebrities for example Ronan Keating (4:15:33) but overtaken by chief Gordon Ramsay (4:05:02).

Thanks to all my supporters and sponsors. I'll publish the full list once the fundraising is completed.

And last but not least many thanks to a very nice lady on Isle of Dogs who let me into her house and let me use her bathroom. Otherwise I'd be in very deep s..t.
