Just rememnbered it was the London Marathon today. My window cleaner, Stevie, came to the evening Mass last night because he was running today. There are usually several priests running - anyone know of any who were in it this year?
Apparently, one problem with the London one is that it starts too late. Several other cities start theirs at 6am so you can be finished mid-morning if you are actually running. The London one starts at 9am so you get to the last bit in the heat of the day. And today it was up in the low 20s. Liz McColgan apparently "took it easy" today because of the heat - she still ran the distance in 2 hours 50 minutes!

I think Robert Colquhoun, a seminarian at Allen Hall, and a fellow-seminarian ran it...
I ran it today- for the Catholic Children's Society. A great event but it was scorching hot and lots of people must have really hurt themselves. You can still sponsor me on www.justgivind.com/richardandrobert
with best regards,

Right now he's in sixth place and you're in seventh.
