Dear Prestonpans.com

I wanted to find some way to say thank you to the kind people of Prestonpans for their support on Sunday 23rd May.
You made the runners, including me, very welcome.

The cheers, hosepipes, water pistols, Haribos and jelly babies were a real boost in the hot conditions.
Great going out and a real boost for the final few miles.

I don't underestimate the disturbance, mess and traffic problems an event like the Marathon can bring.
However, your warmth and kindness to people raising millions for charity was a hugely uplifting highlight - Scotland at its best!

Thanks again

(and yes I finished!)
