To laugh or cry?

The odds of winning a place in next April’s London Marathon were substantially less than one in a hundred. Almost 480,000 people applied.

Yet I’ve got one of these precious places!

So far so good. But ....

Although I’ve completed two previous Marathons (London in 2012 - the photo is of me crossing Tower Bridge, roughly the halfway point - and Edinburgh the following year) and 10 Half Marathons I’ve recently found it challenging even to complete a 5k! Blame dodgy knees and sundry other medical issues. So back to the training drawing board.

Happy to wear the logo and message of a reputable hotel or restaurant for a suitable donation to the charity I’ll select for my latest fundraising!

The corks hardly seemed to stop popping when Edinburgh’s newest Champagne and cocktails bar opened its doors with two packed VIP receptions.

And of course Hotel PR were there!
