LITTLE BADGES - RUN.....NEVER STOP RUNNING..RUN MORE

Hi

The virtual kettle's on..... So while I let it boil I just have this to say

Good luck to all those running the London Marathon this weekend. You mad fools.
Hopefully the weather will work out fine for you all. Not too hot, not too cold and hopefully no rain.

We have been to support the London Marathon a few times. We have a friend who has nothing better to do with his life, so he runs marathons, and has run the London Marathon a few times. The last time we went to support him, we stood near the tower of London heading towards Canary Wharf as he told us we would see him running both ways. It was raining all day, but we stood there with umbrellas waving and cheering everyone on. 5 hrs we stood in the rain and did not see him once. We did see an old College friend run passed but not our mate. He told us that he was running in a bright pink top, which his charity had supplied. It was not until we caught up with him for a meal afterward that we found out he was running in a fluorescent yellow top!!

Still it was a day out. He is running it again this year but I'm afraid apathy has crept in, and although it was exciting the first year we will think about him running from our nice warm bed this weekend.

However I am quite excited about it, as my hairdresser is running for the first time in the London Marathon. She was lucky enough to get a place and she has been telling me about her training. On my last visit to the hairdressers I think the realization of what she would be doing was sinking in. But she has put so much training into it, I am sure she will do well. Looking forward to seeing her medal next time I go in.

I myself do not do jogging. To be honest, I don't see the point in it. People that jog are obviously running away from something. It does freak me out when you are walking along a pavement in the morning, alone, and you can hear heavy footfalls coming from behind and a rhythmic snorting sound.

I am sure there will be the usual nutters out wearing full suits of armour, or very bad fancy dress decision outfits running this year, good luck to them, but please don't do yourself any injuries.

And of course, those so called 'Celebrities' will be out in force using another event to hog the limelight and shout look at me...look at me...oh I'm so caring... (who are we running for)..I'm not at all over exposed, it's just Heat magazine did not want to do a feature on my bathroom habits this week. Run as much as you like celebrities but the Tax man will catch you and take your un-hard earned cash in the form of 50p per pound! Well done Darling.

Well, I can hear the kettle has just finished boiling so

Milk and sugar?
