One of these people is kn*ckered. The other isn't. Can you guess which is which?

I've just downloaded a photo of my son and me at the finish line last Saturday. Thought I would post it for a laugh 😁

You look absolutely amazing..... and he looks , rightly, so very, very proud of his Dad.

You are doing wonderfully and it is time now to start to start believing that you are a runner and pretty darned impressive! :)

Ooooh it was fantastic , thankyou ! :-) xxx

That brought a tear to my eye too , I am such a soppy sod ha ha :-)

No one does these ceremonies like the British , in my humble opinion.

Yes a great time was had by all . Bit disappointed not to be invited to the Royal household after, for tea, cucumber butties and a stroke of the Corgis :-D xxx

Good for you poppypug. Nice weather for it too :)

I agree, nobody does it quite like the British!

My better half was invited to a garden party at the palace a couple of years ago. She took her Mum instead of me. Her Mum nearly exploded with pride. She took weeks to get the right hat !!!

It is a brilliant photo, not only inspiring to others but your son's expression does make it a lovely emotional picture too. No wonder there are many reaching for a hanky.

What a lovely lovely photo, I travel to Parkrun with my son every week but the chance of a photo like this is sadly impossible, he's too competitive to run with me and I'm too tortoise like to run with him......never the twain shall meet πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Maybe your son could run back then finish a second time with you?? Worth asking him!

LDS1961

Well to be fair to him, he did wait fifty yards back from the finish line the last two weeks, then jogged me home.......made me quite emotional the first time he did it 😊
