2013 London Marathon

21st  April 2013

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.

2012 London Marathon

It was a decent time but not the greatest run. Go out hard and hang on was not the best thing to do on this day.

Course 'recce' on Saturday

Its all over - and I still have to carry my own bag!

2011 London Marathon

Bad day - hamstring pulled. It'll be unlikely that I get to London now.

Marathon day.

2010 Shakespeare Marathon

 Not the best day out, I knew for about 16 that it was going to be a tough one. The Greenway was so hot.

At the invitation of my cousin Robin who put me up for the weekend. I entered the Barcelona Marathon.

Cool day and very light drizzle at the start; at about 14oc at the start it never really got that hot.
