Boston 4/15

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

I'm proud to have played a modest part in the first big city marathon after the attrocities of Monday last. London, with its emphasis on charities, colourful costumes and astonishing support, could not have looked finer on this most poignant of days. So many black ribbons on show, such a well-observed moment of silence before the start.



Today, we were all Bostonian.

Well done Sweder, bloody brilliant.

The terrorists didn't entirely leave the London Marathon alone - in endeavouring to stream the race live from the official web site, my computer was savagely taken over by cyber-terrorists' malware which required a complete system restore to be rid of. Worse, I didn't get to see a single second of the race!
