This past weekend, Traveller's brother ran the London Marathon.
Amongst 36, 000 runners, he ran with speed, consistency and strengh; T
was very proud!
was very proud!
The London Marathon is one of those amazing events which really brings the city together - there are about 2-3 supporters to every runner, so each inch of the 26 and a bit miles was sidelined by supporters. The atmosphere was palpable; the city was filled with jovial, passionate aficionados clapping and cheering on the runners. It was brilliant!
The other lovely part of the marathon {aside from it being run for many, many charities} is that so many people dress up in crazy, colourful costumes, whilst still managing to achieve admirable timings. Here are a few of T's favourites...
A juggler
A bride and groom {seriously}
A rhino
Hamlet
22 ft giraffe!
Camel
A whoopee cushion!
and a tiger!
Oh, and in case you're wondering, the 3:22 is my brother's time - 18 minutes faster than last year!
Go, Dan!

To run 18 minutes faster than the previous year (and at a great time too!) is amazing. Well done to Dan!
Oh my gosh those COSTUMES! I'm totally giggling.
