Had to pull out this year as my hernia op in February meant that there would be very little training. Decided instead to volunteer as a marshal at the start. This involved guiding runners from the train station to the start.
Organised by Bedford Harriers, a bus left Bedford at 4am enabling us to be in London by 6 and at our marshaling point by 7am.
I thoroughly enjoyed the few hours 'herding' people to the start areas, answering questions like " Which way to the start"?
Met up with Gemma and watched some of the race before finding a nice east-end cafe for a late fry-up breakfast.
So pleased to receive a silver marathon medal. I'd do it again if not running London.
