There's a slew of running related stories in the papers this week, due no doubt to the London Marathon on Sunday. One article informs us that 58 world records are being attempted to be broken, and these include 'fastest man dressed as a lobster'; fastest man dressed as a 3D dinosaur', you get the picture. I suppose they have to pad the Guinness Book of Records out with these sort of things.
I managed to get round a few marathons in my younger days including 2 x London versions. I recently received my 'One in a Million' t-shirt showing that I am 55,345 in the all time pecking order, although it will be out of date after Sunday of course. I'm more likely to be seen on a bike nowadays, and here's my route home from work to prove it.. (I also have to pad things out)..
