Last Sun's 22 miles

It was like going through the four seasons three times. Weather was cold and extremely windy. Literally, the wind can carry you away with it! There was hail, wind and sun ... all in the mere four hours that we ran. Now we can truly call ourselves - marathon runners!

Other than the usual gang, we had Lau joining us this time round. Great that everyone finally meet everyone! We ran the marathon route starting from Greenwich to Tower Bridge. Can you believe this, we did 13 miles in 1:57:32 (compared to my Paris Half 2:00:14, and it was a slow pace. What a difference when running in a group!

It was yet again a great run! Despite the horrible weather, thanks to the surviving Nat and Lindsey, we were able to pull through the longest run that we ever need to do for this marathon - 22.5 miles. Unfortunately, Sarah still has her hips problems and Lau his crumps. They had to stop at ~ 13/15 miles into the run.

Just some candid shots that we took near Greenwich, when we passed our 1st hail rain.
