The London Marathon

Today was the day of the London Marathon, when 40,000 people thunder around 25 miles (40Km) of London streets.

I went down to see them and cheer them on at Canary Wharf, around 17 miles (27Km) into the race. The atmosphere is great, all the spectators cheer on the runners, most of whom have their names (or monikers like "Billy No Mates") on their shirts, so that people can cheer them on. I've put a selection of shots on My Other Stuff, for you to see. The fun runners, in all manner of costumes are astonishing - the ones in my shots are all up with the pace.

I am full of admiration for these runners - well done to all.
