Perhaps, a bit like upcoming drinks stations, there ought to be a warning notice " Photographer 200m ahead. " Then it's head up, chest out, check stride and try to look like a runner again. A comb and face flannel on an adjacent table might not go amiss either.....

Thankfully there is no pictures of me in bits at mile 25 so thats a relief.

My wife has just seen the photos and said: how come you never look like you're moving anywhere?"

Ouch!

She's got a point though - at least one foot firmly on the ground in every photo!

Thanks so much Rich - and to everyone else for helpful comments, advice, encouragement etc. I've gone from swearing this would be my last marathon to planning my 2 spring ones!

I can just about see myself on YouTube - I'm just in front of micknphil right at the back of the start (but it's a very dark video - not up to richk kwalitee)

Rich - you caught me about 6 photos down from the man running with the cyclist in the 18 mile pages - probably the moment it all started to go horribly wrong....

Legs still feeling tired - Marlow 1/2 is going to be tough this weekend.

You're welcome :)

Don't know how I missed you, Hob Nob, but you're restored to your rightful place now :)

You're right, Marlow will be hard!! Good luck with it . . although as Mick says, you're only running to the half way mark this time :)

RichK - the girls in my WRN group wanted me to say a big thank you for the great photos you took of them - especially the 5 girls doing their first marathon were chuffed to have so many photos of the occasion.

They're all talking about the next marathon to do now....

Don't know about any 'official' photos - I can't find any.

But then, with the dozens taken by RichK, I don't really think any official pics are necessary.

Shades - I'm sure they would all appreciate a Weekend in the Lake District towards the end of May

Hmmmm - Copenhagen or Windermere? I can see the dilemma

SHADES

I hope Windermere is on next year, will do it then

While on the subject of photos.

Did I read somewhere that we may well be sent official results and, if they caught us, a finish line photo? If so, does anybody know how long after the race these are generally distributed?

Or did I imagine the whole thing?

Last year we got printed official results and a photo send to us.
