Yeah, wow. I have to join the ranks of the people who didn't know how moved this would make them? It did make me tear up. I've been watching Carrie since 2012, and I am genuinely overwhelmed seeing her accomplish such a difficult goal. I think it resonated especially because I'm trying to get up to 10k atm and having a really hard time of it.
Just ran as far as you can, and then add in half a kilometer increments. You will work your way up to 50 k and collect the metal at the end of the marathon. Keep going you'll get there.
I'm going to admit I teared up half way through, just seeing how far you have come since I started watching you 10-ish years ago, and how much you have pushed yourself to reach your goals with a smile...it's truly inspiring.
I’ve cried about 40 times watching this... anyone who’s done any physical challenge like this knows that overwhelm at various points... props to you Carrie, well done!
Currently sobbing into my pasta watching this vlog 🥺 I’m so proud of you as someone who was always the ‘big’ girl in PE and was told to not even try out for any dance teams or audition for anything this is so inspiring so much so that I have my first proper audition next Monday ❤️ you are amazing !
Anyone of any shape or size can run or do any kind of exercise! If I can get past the finish line of a marathon, something I genuinely never thought I'd be able to do, you can do anything you set your mind to!
I didn't expect this to make me so emotional, but here I am, crying, only 8 minutes into the video. Well done Carrie! Such a huge achievement! I love how you chose a person or people to focus on for each mile. So beautiful and moving!! ♥
I was emotional this whole vlog, just hearing each person you were thinking of, the clip of you spotting Ollie is the sweetest thing and I cried a lot! So incredibly proud of you !
This made me really emotional. I ran the virtual marathon yesterday (my 1st marathon) after being inspired by you and its still not set in. I spend the second half wondering how you were getting on (it made for a good distraction from my aching feet) and as soon as I could tracked you for the end. You did amazing and should be really proud. You're a real inspiration!
Congrats on the virtual! I think you had it tougher because it was the crowds that got me through most of yesterday and not having them would have made it really hard! Well done you for getting through it!
Carrie I cried EVERY time you dedicated a mile to somone. Look how far you’ve come!!!!!! You’re so lucky to have all of those amazing people in your life. You’re boss x
Congratulations, Such an incredible achievement. I admire that you have committed to running knowing that it isn’t something you naturally are good at and you have worked hard and persevered to achieve a goal. True inspiration! Also you have managed to film, edit and upload a vlog to go along with it in just over 24 hours, you are superwomen 💪🏻
Yeah I think that’s why it’s my biggest achievement. Because none of it has felt easy or natural and I kept going anyway. I’m hugely proud of that. Thanks so much for the love and support! I really appreciate it! ❤️
I watched this video the day it was posted. The next morning I woke up early and started a Couch To 5k program. I'm now in week 3 of my marathon training after signing up for the Portland marathon this October. I didn't have a great running day today and it's lovely to come back and become inspire all over again. Thank you Carrie.
I am a sobbing mess watching this 😭is it weird to be proud of someone you don’t even know? Well, in this instance I don’t care if it’s weird! Proud of you Carrie and everything you’ve achieved - what an amazing woman you are ♥️
Huge congratulations on this achievement Carrie, as a 28 year old I've been here since my early teens and I can't help but feel incredibly emotional and weepy watching this. Good on you!
This made me strangely emotional, like tears were shed. I'm so proud of you!!! I remember the bucket list video coming out and watching you grow and be able to tick this off the bucket list has been an honour 🧡🧡
I thoroughly enjoyed following you and a couple of others along the course.......well done and for 2 amazing charities. Happily donated a little bit too. :)
Not me crying with you at every mile watching this video….. so so proud of you Carrie!! So inspirational!! My brother asked me to do a local half marathon yesterday, and I’m now debating it because of you!! 💛
I got all teared up with you at the 18 mile mark and then seeing the clip of Ollie showing up got me choked up again! You've done amazingly Carrie well done
I’m crying so much 😭 especially when you got choked up mentioning Scott and then the clip of you seeing Oliver 🥺 you do so damn well and I loved all the Carrie cheers!
Joining the party of people who teared up and feel proud of you (if its okay to feel proud of someone you don't actually know?) Carrie, your such an incredible person in all that you do- not just in your ability to run a freaking marathon, but your heart throughout it all, and how much you can tell you care about raising money for papyrus. Thank you for being such an incredible role model to so many of us growing up, and for continuing to be such an incredible person and role model for so many more
Seeing you get all choked up about dedicating every mile was just amazing. It’s brilliant how much love one person can have for some many others. You’ve filled your life with wonderful souls, and they couldn’t be more proud.
Just sobbed all my moisturiser off haha! Amazing. Well done! I can't imagine how you did it. I'm not a runner, have arthritis and asthma and I've run 3 half marathons at home this past year and a marathon just seems incomprehensible! Urgh the bit with Ollie just pushed me over the edge. Every single person there is such an inspiration, congratulations to all the runners!!!
Carrie, we lost my lovely brother to suicide in 2015. He was only 25. As a family, we have always chosen to donate to Papyrus. So just a massive thank you and well done. What an incredible achievement.
I cried through this whole video! I loved hearing about all the people who help and inspire you. I’m running a marathon at the end of November and I hope I can be as positive as you throughout the whole thing. Great great job, congratulations!!
Not only was I starting to tear up after a minute, but I fully blubbed when you found Oli in the crowd! After following your journey for 10-ish years and seeing you overcome something like this (for two incredible charities I might add!) is such an inspiration! You should feel so so SO proud of what you achieved!
You are such a bloody inspiration! Honestly, this feels like a friend telling me about how bloody amazing she is, congratulations Carrie and all the wonderful people who took part
CARRIE, my heart burst while watching this. I'm so proud of you for this absolutely incredible accomplishment!! Extremely well done...hope you've been able to treat yourself after!
Congratulations Carrie ! The emotion and purpose of each mile could be felt. Oliver being there as a surprise got me really emotional. Wonderful done ✅ lots of love
Oh my goodness Carrie, this video made me feel SO emotional! I feel so proud of you, you are utterly incredible; such an inspiration! Sending lots of love xxx
Seeing be so grateful for all of the people in your life and the love and care you have for them was something I really needed❤ seeing this reminded me that after being stuck in Lockdown unable to travel and see my loved ones I'm going to get to and have their physical support again. Thank you Carrie 💕
I cried through this whole vlog, I don’t even know why I was just so impressed! Every mile when you said who you ran it for, I cried even more! As a person in a massive health struggle at the minute I am in awe of what bodies can do and the range of things they are capable of. If people can run a marathon I can start to get better.
I’m sat on my lunch break at my desk at work and absolutely sobbing with pride into my sandwich! Well done Carrie! I’ve been watching you since I was 13 years old (I’m now 22) and to see you complete the marathon just really made me proud and incredibly sentimental. Thanks for always being my internet big sister, and a huge congrats on running the London Marathon!
I think my favourite part is random people cheering on random people 🥲 coming together to support someone you don’t even know, my heart. I’ve been a spectator before and you really do want everyone to smash it ❤️
I kept tearing up through that! You smashed it Carrie! Definitely something to be proud of. Seeing your reaction to Oliver, was so heartfelt and made me so emotional ❤️❤️❤️
Honestly one of the most inspiring videos I have ever watched! I actually cried along with you, just from feeling so proud of you, especially after watching your videos for last 10+ years! Incredible! You are amazing xx
This was so beautiful to watch. Congratulations to you, Carrie!! You've inspired me to get back into running. Haven't run a race since 2014 and now I want to run a marathon. (I also cried like 4 times)
Definitely cried throughout this entire video, especially when Oli came to support you! I love all the dedications for every mile as well. Congratulations!!!
I’m currently sat sobbing watching this, we are all so proud of you Carrie! It’s been amazing seeing how far you’ve come, and I know you’ve inspired hundreds, and also helped so many people doing this. With you all the way ✨
Wow this made me more emotional than I thought it would, all the happy tears! Been saying I’ll run the marathon one day and you’ve truly inspired me⭐️💖
Congratulations Carrie. So happy for you and proud of you. I loved watching this and got very emotional watching. It brought back memories from when I have done the London marathon 4 times. And the many times I have watched my Dad and brother run it too. Well done Carrie it's a wonderful achievement.
So happy for you Carrie. When I saw that video of you and Oliver and just the pure support and love, I got emotional. So happy for how far you have come. You did it! Congratulations!
Cried and feel so full of hope. Extraordinarily well done, Carrie! Makes me want to pick up my running shoes and start training for that 10k on my bucket list 🥰
Well done Carrie - I did the virtual in and around my home village for DementiaUK and it was brutal :') I'm still hobbling two days later, and I ended up walking most of it! You're amazing. And thank you for your work fundraising for Alzheimers research, from me and my mum, who was diagnosed with young onset around eight years ago.
CARRIE! you did it!!!!!!! I can't believe how long ago that bucket list video was - I remember watching it and I am just so proud of how far you've come! well done!!!!!
I've watched this three times today. I didn't think it would be so emotional, so inspiring and so interesting. Well done Carrie you're such a wonderful person
I cried my eyes out watching this!! Both of these causes are so close to my heart, so thank you for championing them. COULDN’T be prouder of you Carrie ❤️
I tracked you the whole way on the app, Carrie! I literally started crying watching this at mile 1. You are an inspiration lovely lady! Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️ xxxxxx
i admittedly teared up watching this! it's so incredible watching someone set a goal for themselves and accomplish it through their own hard work and dedication. all the congratulations to you, carrie! it's certainly inspired me to get a little more serious about my own life goals in turn.
Congratulations Carrie!!💗 This is honestly so inspirational (I’m actually feeling slightly emotional to be honest 🥺) I’m so proud and really happy for you! What an amazing achievement for such an amazing person! x
Congratulations Carrie! This really makes me want to get back into running, even if it's just to run for the length of this video. The pure joy on your face at the end was so beautiful, well done!! 💕💕💕
I remember watching that video of your bucket list and look at you now!! I cried silent tears the whole time you were running hahah it’s just so moving, especially watching you thank/dedicate every mile to someone. What a wonderful accomplishment you’ve made!
I’m also joining the crowd who teared up at this video: I didn’t expect to be crying on a Wednesday morning while eating breaky, but here we are. Congratulations, Carrie!! So proud of you! I also went for a run yesterday, a grand total of 10 minutes, but I only started my running journey because of you, thank you for being my inspiration! You deserve a magnificent rest 💕 (and it was so nice to see Johnny! Missed that man and his beautiful accent)
I remember watching that first video with all your bucket list things when it was first uploaded and now you did it! We're so so proud of you and all the things you've accomplished!!
I got so emotional watching this. I can vividly remember the Q and A video from 2015 and it hit me like a brick: I've been watching you for more than 6 years. Thank you Carrie for being such an inspiration, for being there when I was feeling low and giving me hope with your unshattering optimism. Your videos have always been a safe haven to go back to. It feels like you are my wonderful, talented, beautiful, warm-hearted and generous RU-vid-Cousin. You are amazing, big congratulations!! xxx
Honestly so proud of you! made what seemed the impossible, possible! This has inspired me to run a marathon one day In the future. I'm so glad you never gave up. Rest up sweetie!
Oh Carrie - You are such an inspiration. Thank you for pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and teaching us all to do the same. I am 28 years old, and have always been terrified to try anything out of my comfort zone. Thank you for being such an incredible inspiration and an influence in my life, for years, Xx
Chills, absolute chills throughout this entire video. I cried every time you cried, this was so emotional and inspirational. I watched your instagram story of you seeing Oli the day of over and over and over, its so touching. This is amazing Carrie, congratulations.
So. Proud. Well done! You are such an amazing human, inspiring, strong, and so caring! Thanks for being such a great role model. Congrats on such a brilliant achievement and all the money raised!
