London Marathon Day

13 April
12 km - 1 hour 05.47 min


Beautiful Sunday morning, sunny cool and still. Dogs are bouncing and leading the way, happily wagging their tails.

Come back and watch on TV the greatest running festival in the world, the London Marathon. The children know and don't even grumble when I ask them to switch to BBC1 from their usual programmes. They too fall for the excitement of thousands of runners pounding the streets of London and thousands cheering and celebrating. Shall I run next year, my daughter asks. I think I should, I miss it so much.
