Seriously Aftaranon the rain God is WAITING for some poor sap to mention rain and we will all be WET. And then running becomes wet and the world is wet and my feet get wet and then I just become like a wet blanket
I like running in the rain - except when I've got new shoes on .... then they get all wet and muddy and I start running like a premiere ballerina hopping from one foot to the next, pirouetting over puddles and performing échappé sautés over pot holes full of murky slush with bits of horse/cow/pig/sheep dung in it ... all in a vain effort to keep my whiter than white shoes white.
It never works though ... they always end up filthy!
Eh - are you doing it? I have a few other ones in mind - not sure I can ever be asked to do FLM. Probably have to. People dont' seem to understand that a marathon is a marathon no matter where you do it. Conversation recently with person who doesn't know running:
Stupid person: "You doing London Marathon?"
Me: "Nope. Doing Loch Ness Marathon instead"
Stupid person: "Is that easier? It's shorter then FLM isn't it?
Yeh - FLM has become some large, commercial race that charities use to force us to raise money for them (ahem - PAYING hundreds of pounds to run through London is stupid).
Pete Doherty wants to do it, which puts me off really.

Where do you run? I like running in the rain when it isn't at virtual freezing point. Nothing better than warm running in a thunderstorm....
Mmmmm
The lanes of Devon me dear...
Now what is this little FLM thing I've heard talk of ....?

@ stupid person!
No, I'm not doing it and have no desire to do it either.
I will do a marathon one day but probably a nice, quiet, low-key one, somewhere scenic.
Totally
Yeh I don't - the atmosphere is awesome but woudl rather do a different marathon
You almost had it there PO - I think it's hanging on by the skin of it's teeth.
