On Sunday, my flatmate Claire and I walked down to watch the marathon runners as they started heading into the final stretch along the Thames. We were very impressed by the pace many people had set and continued to run by. It was great fun encouraging all the runners on, and we joined the crowd in calling out people’s names to encourage them for the final stretch.

It was nice when they gave you a smile or a wave back, with some even saying “Cheers” or “Thanks” back. Lots of people went by in costumes and the great weather helped in taking some nice pictures of the runners. You can check out the rest of them here.
