Went to watch the Isle of Wight Marathon with little sister Aliboo70, her boyfriend Boz and George the dog today. It's reckoned to be one of the toughest marathons in the country and i can see why. Full of respect for anyone that made it round. First home was 2'45!. I saw a look in Aliboo's eye tho. Don't be surprised if she isn't in it next year :) ! . Here's a photo of George enjoying the race.

Hhm a nice thought but fairly unlikely! You should give yourself a challenge though!! 😄

George looks cute. I love the Isle of Wight but can imagine a marathon course would take some pretty undulating terrain in. But I suppose if that where you train that is what you are used to. I agree I think I could see alliboo giving it a go one day😃.

Cute little George. His colouring goes well with the grass and the flower

Hi Paul! George Dog oops so cute, but also wary of proceedings, thinking, I imagine, "I'm not going to have to run all that way, am I?!" 😂

Hope you all had a nice day out watching the race!

Hi Mikes, good job he was on the lead. He quite fancied tasting a few of the other spectators haha. Had a great day. You were running a marathon at the same time weren't you?
