Crossing the line

December 7th, 2005 by Dave

Because my legs are still a little sore, I feel I have the right to talk some more about last Sunday’s marathon. As soon as I don’t feel moderate pain with every step, it’ll become ancient history. That, and because I’m out of the office editing the manuscript today, I don’t have the time to search for interesting news stories. So, courtesy of Marathonfoto, here is a shot of me crossing the finish line:

3:52 finish!

    Well done.

    Next time, try the bus. Quicker, probably safer, relatively painless.

    Actually, upon a second look, was impressed by the even split times and I see you finished the last 5 quicker than any other.

    Good going. You might just have given me the bug to get running again.

    Cheers, Jon.
