A hopefully inspirational video about the 2007 Flora London Marathon and a recognition of what makes it great. I have sought to get permission for use for the personal pics though some are from the Beeb – please don’t sue me! and some are my own. Also, I realise that the goals of an elite runner are very different from the goal of a first-timer dressed as a pantomime horse, but they both share the desire to get round the 26.2 miles as quickly and possible and to make themselves proud – this …

    Our Vicar ‘Howard Pask’ is running for the first time this year, for The Menigitis Trust.
    We are all 110% behind him. and wish him luck.
    He has trained so hard.

    What a knob. I’m “running” my first ever marathon this year – got a mixture of excitiment and dread! Video definitely helped, so thanks. See you all there. As for ms4pk’s comment – I’m sure it’s probably something to do with lack of penis size.

  17. rimboTHEbad says:

    Sorry the “knob” comment was aimed at ms4pk, noone else on here.

    Ultra and marathons are a different ball game – as you prob know…I do both. A marathon requires different levels of glucose than an ultra and is normally faster…a diffeint ball game…But both demand respect.
