Telly on 📺 , cuppa in hand ☕️

Who is watching the London Marathon this morning? I have two friends running this morning. So will be thinking of them.

Also will be in awe of the elite times. To me some of their times seem unreal, especially when I think of my own pace 😀🏃‍♀️.

I'm just off to watch RFC! Have a few from run club doing it!😊

I ran to the loo- then back in bed in time for the wheelchair start, cuppa in hand

I know of a few there today, I'm getting anxious just thinking about their day ahead!

Used to watch it admiringly but without a second thought, today the 'understanding' of knowing what they are all facing makes it even more admirable 🏃🏃🏃

OMG - 10 miles under 51 min. Women's elite.

I know...!!!!

Makes my.."oh I am so pleased, 4K in 26 mins", this morning, look a bit pathetic to say the least !!!!! x

[sarah469 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

4K in 26 minutes, sounds good to me

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to sarah469]

Tee hee ! So exciting watching... I am hoarse!!!

[sarah469 Graduate]

I'm watching! Inspiring stuff!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Me... off and on.. preparing a Spring buffet lunch for Little Mum and family. so keep diving in and out

At the moment I'm thinking if mouth breathing is good enough for the second fastest female marathon runner ever it's good enough for me!

[Realfoodieclub Graduate]

I guess the joys of being a hobby runner is if you want to be sick while you are running you can go and do it quietly without the cameras watching you.😳.

Women's elite. London Marathon. 2: 17: Mary Keitany. Hehe I don't even do a HM close to that 😀

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Realfoodieclub]

wasn't it amazing!!!!!

[sarah469 Graduate]

Aly Dixon makes me hopeful about my running because her gait seems similar to mine! She's just crossing the line now as the fastest GBR runner.

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to sarah469]

I know amazing. I will never be that sort of pace but I just love watching them. Unfortunately I have to get on with my day😫😫😫😫😫😫 so I have to stop watching.

[Millsie-J Graduate]

Sounds great viewing. Im in transit to France so unable to watch. Daft date for traveling to France humpf!

I was running in some gorgeous woods at some stately pile so missed it. I shall watch the highlights programme later. There was a marathon being run alongside my 10k race, and an 60k ultra. Gulp.

[Sandraj39 Graduate]

Have been glued to it throughout - totally inspiring!😀🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏻🥇😀

We were at the Southampton marathon today so missed it. But I saw the Swansea Harrier runner help another poorly runner over the finish line and that was just tear jerking. He probably gave up his time selflessly to help another runner to finish. I was so inspired by that act of sportsmanship. I was also wanting to know how the mind over marathon people got on but no news that I can see.

[sarah469 Graduate]

Who saw the guy with the tumble dryer on his back 😱😱😱?!

[ancientrunner Graduate]

Had to work today so just seen the highlights - glad to see even the elites can have nausea problems (well maybe relieved rather than pleased). Shame Brendan Foster is going. Work colleague who didn't get a place ran her first marathon in Hamburg this morning - 3hours 49!!!

[ladyharvills Graduate]

I watched it all. Very inspiring, especially Matthew Rees helping a fellow runner.
