Speaking of running, a belated congrats to our friend, Stu, who finished his first marathon last Sunday at the Flora London Marathon. He ran it in 4 hours, 11 minutes and 57 seconds, an awesome time, but not as awesome as the experience must have been. I can only imagine.

He wrote a great post about it on his blog, The Damp Cad.

It was without doubt, one of the best days of my life. Big emotions experienced from beginning to end. Pride, happiness, elation, and with so many people out supporting the runners in this city you know so well, humble too.

What you hear from other people about running 26 miles really is true. Yes it’s tiring, yes you get your doubts, but if you’ve prepared properly and you’re in the right frame of mind, you will do it and you will get a decent time.
