Ducati Sporting Club UK > General > Idle Chat > London Marathon - Sunday 18 April

[lizzie]

As some of you know, Michael (AKA MW or MichaelArmani) is running in the London marathon on Sunday.

If you've nothing better to do on a Sunday morning than watch TV, keep an eye out for him - he'll be wearing number 12163 over a natty little blue Cancer Research vest.

Should any of you generous folk wish to sponsor him (obviously monies to Cancer Research), please send me a U2U.

Lizzie

P.S. I'm going to watch if anyone wants to join me.

All the best matey.... I remember as a child trying to find dad on the telly when he Ran the London Marathon a few times... thought I saw him once, then realised it was an Umpalumpa...

Good Luck

Dearest Kelly,that old Umpalumpa did it in 3hrs 3 mins not bad for a Umpalumpa. Any out there running it all I can say is good luck, watch you early pace , keep away from the kerbs, drink only water , run you own race and run the blue line its the shortest route. When it starts to hurt Remember "Its only pain" and its a great purifier. Mike put me down for a tenner. Ill pay out at Cadwell if you like 4D

Best of luck Michael

[lizzie]

Well the boy done good!

4 hrs, 5 mins - 5 mins outside his target time, which means he's already thinking about doing it all again next year
Didn't enjoy the bit around Docklands at about 18 miles (obviously didn't see that famous 'wall' before he ran into it!) but made it all the same.

I think I'm aching more than he is just from running around London and sticking my head out of various tube/DLR stations - only for him to ignore me every time

See you at Cadwell and thanks Fordie, he'll collect then.

Good going young man
