London Marathon 2009

Is anyone/anyone you know running in the London Marathon?

If you don't know what it is, I'll tell you.

It's when anyone of any shape,size, background etc raises money for charity when you run 26 miles through London (From Blackheath, South London to The Mall, Buckingham Palace in sort of Central London). Celebrities even join in, I think the fastest time was like 2 hours or something. You don't have to sprint or run you can jog or walk.

Here's more Information:

cool, in Mississauga, there is a marathon too on the 10th of may so sounds almost the same thing

cool is it also for charity?

I lol'd when later on I saw "London Marathon Highlights", how does someone decide the 'highlights' of a 26mile run, surely it's only the start and end?

lol there are no "main" parts so highlights is fail Quite boring tbh

true, people were trying to break records too, like the fastest super hero (someone dressed in a costume of course)

lol
that looks fun, i thought it would be people carrying water bottles and trying to survive

not always, people just wanted to have fun and do it for chairty. I want to do the Marathon for some wierd reason.

It's like a personal achievement to complete the marathon for a lot of people, not always for charity .

accepting donations for the 'ej needs a new computer' charity

:lo: true they like the achievement too one of my teacher's did the marathon before and she's fat, once she finished she got a medal and bragged about it the next day at school.

lol
thats not a very cool teacher :O

correct she was very moany and people would muck about in her class! But not many people from our school ran the marathon, if they did they didn't tell us!

i don't like people that brag about their achievements, you can say it once but not always repeat it
i think it is quite an achievement to finish a marathon. i might run one for the experience

Martin Lel got injured

I was hoping for him to win, he's won it 3/4 times already in the past 4 years...

lots of people got injured but the ambulance crews helped them but the injuries were mostly like hamstrings etc. (little things).

oh, good thing nothing serious

No there might have been like 1 random serious injury but not many at all, unless there's a pile-up Also on the day London was very sunny and bright...

cool cool, marathons are fun for runners but boring for viewers...

true, I watched the beginning 10 minutes or something and then I got bored at watched something else and get the summary later

lol
thats what i do with all sports

anyways about the London Marathon, I think the fastest time was like 1 hour and like 40 mins! 26 miles remember!

thats a pretty good speed congratz to who ever achieved it
