London Marathon

Is anybody running in the London Marathon today? Well you wouldn't be able to answer if you was, obviously. But I'm running in it right now! I'm typing this on a wireless laptop I'm running with......screeeeecccchhhhhhh!!!!...... sorry, lost the signal there for a moment! :je

Seriously, even if your not running, its still fun to watch. And you have to admire those people running for charity. It must be very hot in those costumes!

Hi Jon,

I'm not running any marathons any time soon (over ever - I've got more fast twitch than slow), but I have started running again to be in shape for a few 5k races this summer... its hard going getting back in shape after I had two-three months off from mid Dec, through March (too cold). I'm paying for it I think next winter I'll run indoors to avoid all this.

Glad to hear you like to watch races... I ran a 5k last year where the 10k race started 45 minutes after the 5k race. The top dog won the 5k in 13:53 minutes something - took a 1/2+ hour break after finishing, then ran the 10k in 29:05... those guys are amazing....

Hi Pete,

The Great North Run is favourite of mine too.
