Alex's London Marathon adventure by alexalder

Introduced a new feature to my training today... I ran while Annabel, who's nearly 9, cycled along next to me. She was very cheerful and chatty and managed 6.5 miles at my pace without needing to stop or refuel!

We ran to Lower Sydenham station and then got the train back home - and she remained cheerful even when, half way home, I realised I'd forgotten her bike and left it there! Amazingly it was still there when we got the next train back (we prayed hard!)
