Mairi, who now hopes to run the New York marathon in November, attributed her success to the support of her nursery staff and her family. She said, 'I loved every single minute. It was my first marathon and the carnival atmosphere was great. There was music and spectators were cheering me along all the way, and the London sights were fantastic. I had nerves at the starting line but 20 Kent firefighters helped me along and there was a lot of camaraderie and support. I found the whole experience very uplifting.'
