Anyone out there running in the Marathon tomorrow?

Me neither, but good luck to all those brave people

I got up too late.

I'm taking part from my bed - more relaxing

You are jesting aren't you. I am a very good skier, cross-country skier and a very passable snowboarder - but I just cannot run for toffee (maybe to save my life, but I've never tried).

It was very sad to read in this mornings paper of the death of one of the marathon runners

Very sad Nonu and such a young woman, only 30 I believe. I know that after what happened to Fabrice Muamba (apologies if I have spelt his name wrong) there were calls for routine health tests for young athletes and it does seem as if this would be a good idea.

Nightowl I agree entirely , as it seems be a very punishing race

I hadn't heard that. How awful!

I think, when you are exercising you should always stop if you start to feel at all poorly. Or at least slow down a lot.

Heroes, all of them though.
