The Flora London Marathon

I've done the London to Brighton Bike ride a few times (in the 80's and 90's!!) but have always fancied doing the London Marathon.
Now the wrong side of 40 (only just!!) I wonder if I'll ever get round to it.

But as I watched the runners on the BBC this morning I was amazed. I don't mean by the top runners who's brains are connected to their super duper digital watches: where an extra second shaved off their personal best means an extra dollop of pasta. But the fun runners who run the 26 miles 385 yards, not in "proper shoes" (my Mum always made sure we had "proper shoes"!!), but in the most outrageous fancy dress costumes (above).

Good on yer guys. You have more guts, stamina, determination etc etc than I ever would have!!
