Good luck to them Ann.
I'm sure the last few miles seem so long. They've done well though.

I hope they can sort things out so that in other years there is a separation of the groups. It will be devastating for all involved in that mishap.

Son is up there somewhere cheering on his girlfriend who is running for 2 local hospices.
Family have been tracking her progress and she is going well.

I hope the runners can cope with the change in weather.
The lovely sunshine is unlike that through most of their training, but has brought out the crowds in a show of solidarity and support.
I hope all goes well for all.

Looks like the collision may have taken its toll. Such a shame for an Olympic champion to maybe lose because of that.

I've always thought the wheelchairs should start much later than they do because I've seen near misses before.

Full of admiration for each and everyone who is taking part. Not many highest common denominators left in this country.

Happy days

Quite right, took dog out about 9am.

Lovely in the sun, but a bit chilly in the shade.

I wish them all well, and hope things will go smoothly for them.

It is a lovely day for it, I am praying everything will go smoothly, it must be especially poignant for those running today who also ran in the Boston Marathon.

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"
