In Milan dodgy characters guard the ticket machines at the train staions..they try to steal the money off you as you put it in the machine! it's a mad rush to get the change before one of them steals it! Rome we were looking at our tickets when a man started reading them then ushered us to follow him and grabbed a case to put it on the train, I had to practically fight him to get him to leave us alone, no doubt he was after a tip but ffs we knew were we were! Robbers everywhere we just couldn't relax. At the start of the race runners just urinated where they stood, I even saw one take a dump, in the middle of the starters, I know you can get that anywhere but usually they'll go to the side or hide a bit here they just get it out and do their business... beautiful citys in Italy but I can't say it's a place I'd ever go back to tbh too many thieves, beggars high prices and loud rude people for me... |

I had to shout shut the fuck up a few times after 20 odd miles, they come shouting up in my f ing ear and carry on shouting as they passed as if I'm invisible!!! sorry guys but at 20ish miles I'm not a polite brit anymore... tbh I've never seen so many rude people in my life... I'm back to Milan tomorrow for a stop over before heading back to the frozen north...mmm I'm drooling thinking about greasy bacon and fried eggs..5 more days | |

I saw people obviously not in the race running too, one girl ran it from about 15 mile to the finish, I could tell she hadn't run the previous 15 because she had no number and was far too clean and fresh. One guy running with his son about 11 years old in non running kit. Didn't like the fences at the finish but I suppose that's one of the reasons for them. I've seen my videos but the download speed is rubbish in hotel | |

people wandering across the road, I almost ran into a man with a buggy, a few shouts of get the fuck out of the way and the same in various other languages but he just carried on regardless. Don't think people realise that 20+ miles, we can't stop! Leave Rome on Wednesday then back via Milan then Paris London Edinburgh. Edinburgh Marathon for me next. Just hope the legs will have recovered. | |
