Today was the day of the big race, with hot temperatures in London. I haven't found any photos of Anna yet
, but other celebrities that ran were
Chef Gordon Ramsey and Katie Price {

However,
Anna has surpassed her goal for Shelter Charity! She was aiming for £4000 in donations, and has nearly £4400 total! Thanks to everyone who helped Anna reach her goal {

EDIT: Anna's results are now online, she finished in a respectable
position of 6424 for the Women's 18 at a time of 6:15:43 
Way to go Anna!! READ MORE for result details.
EDIT II: Anna has updated her
Justgiving Blog to talk about the race and how happy she is about the donations (which are now over the £4600 mark)!
UPDATE: I still wasn't sure until this morning whether I was going to make it to the start line, having been on antibiotics for a chest infection last week and still suffering from a foot injury. I made it though- it took me a whole 6 hours and 15 minutes and 43 seconds but I got there! Thank you everyone so much for your incredible support and for your generous contributions. Your sponsorship will make a huge difference to people who really need it and it certainly kept me going today. I really, really appreciate it... Thank you thank you thank you x x x x x
Congrats to Anna for following through despite difficulties and hopefully her injuries will subside soon!
