 Someone trying to steal our strap line?


David on his way to collect his bib number yesterday.



There will be lengthy television coverage of the event on BBC, so there's always a chance of spotting David, Olivia or other family and friends among the 59,000 charity runners! Here's the schedule:




If you would like to follow the live progress of David and Olivia, or anyone else, you can do so by getting the TCS London Marathon app. Click on the link below, then either scan the QR code or choose between iPhone (iOS) or Android below it:

Once you have the app, you can search for participants to track by name, but it is easier to enter their Bib numbers:
  • David is 79322
  • Olivia is 82254
As well as tracking their progress you can send a message of encouragement and support that may appear on the big screens. All messages are emailed to participants after the race ... 🤔 ... that seems a bit late to me!



In case you missed it, a heartwarming story from the Boston Marathon ...

Here's someone else who had trouble getting over the finishing line:






Good luck to David, Olivia and all the other runners!




Coming up:

Sunday: David and Olivia will hopefully send a video as they wait for the start. I will post updates on their progress.

Monday/Tuesday: While David's sitting immobilised by lactic acid in his legs I'll get him to send a report on how the run went.
