In London, the runners all race,
With stride and determined grace,
Through streets they will roam,
In the Marathon home,
With cheers echoing all through the place! #LondonMarathon #WeAreRunThings TCS London Marathon

Run Things My 'Escape from Meriden' silver medal, courtesy of Beyond Marathon escapefrommeriden.co.uk
Start at Meriden, run/walk/crawl as far as you can, in any direction, in 24 hours or less. Medals at 30/60/90 miles, I 'only' wanted 30 miles, took 7 hrs, did it for the adventure!
Congratulations to all who ran, jogged, walked, skipped, tip-toed, moonwalked, or whatever, at the Brighton Marathon Weekend today. We hope you're having a well deserved rest! (don't forget the shakeout...😉) #BrightonMarathon #WreAreRunThings
I haven’t done a virtual race since the lockdowns were over, but was delighted to get this in the post today. Setting my own target really helped get me out running before Christmas when I didn’t want to. Thank you Run Things Bonus chocolate thrown in was a nice touch, too!
