London Marathon

You could not be in London yesterday and not be aware of the London Marathon. With over 35,000 entrants and thousands more who supported them. I was out there supporting a friend who managed it in 4hrs 5mins. They had rain, sunshine and cold. Congrats to all who entered and especially all who finished.

Beautiful photograph of the London Marathon.

I don't understand the need for people to run in marathons as there is no reward at the end but there is a lot of misery, aching bones and feet.

The urge to run in a marathon must be a human condition as I am not able to think of any other species willing to run 26 miles for nothing.

Your marathon was a lot wetter than ours!

Your friend did great. I love the crowd out to watch the runners pass by.

Thanks for the photo. Judging by the numbers of both spectators and runners, it looks like a huge success. Very nice shot!

Lots of participants! At least 10K more than last year's Boston Marathon. It must've been cool to see your friend finish it. :)

I'm glad you've posted on the marathon. I watched it on the TV yesterday and some of the stories of the runners are so inspiring and moving. You've taken a great photo :)

Great photo!! I have never run in a marathon and have really never been inspired to do so, but Bravo to those who are disciplined enough to do it!

I'm more of a walker myself! :)

Great photo though--glad the snow is gone for them!!

great photo, Mo!

Unfortunately I was not in London, but I had a friend who also finished - 4 hours 2 minutes...they must have been pacing one another !

I experienced the London Marathon last year.... Our marathon is next Monday! But, I will miss it. I'll be stuck at Heathrow waiting for a plane to the Czech Republic!
