Ted had an amazing time running the London Marathon after training for six months and finishing the race, despite his initial doubts. He successfully raised 500 pounds for charity and invited Sally to join him next year. The completion of the marathon was particularly fulfilling for Ted as it marked a significant personal achievement.
