Batman and Robin made it to mile 18 and despite having his appendix out a few weeks ago, Batman is doing well.

Inspirational Marathon stories - Garth Ravenhill
Image source, BBC SportGarth Ravenhill, 44, is running for The Cure Parkinson's Trust, external after he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease seven years ago. As Garth has not taken part in any race further than 10k before he is unsure how his body is going to cope but is determined to finish.
"The progression of the disease is slow but sure, resulting in me becoming stiffer as time moves on - never mind the other symptoms.
"I want to show people that you can achieve great goals and mine is the London Marathon. I've never really run before and to do this would be a personal victory against this disease. Race day will be so exciting, mixing with fellow runners, looking at all the other charities that are being represented, as well as the professional runners. I can't wait.
"My goal is to finish in under six hours but it will depend how my disease acts on the day. But no matter what, I will finish. I promise."

Patricia Kirkwood
Any runners agree with Patrica's email about the feeling crossing over Tower Bridge today?
Tower bridge is amazing. It has to be my favorite part of the London Marathon route. You can hear the support from the crowd before you can see them.
The vibration of their feet and their hands clapping is just electric - you can feel the throbbing right through your body. It really is amazing!
