In step

It was Southampton marathon today which happened to run right past my front door. It always amazes me how quickly the runners make it to my road. These were among some of the first group and I hobbled out my front door to take a few photos. In my extra I have a couple of the stragglers much later, taken from my bedroom window. As it happened I went out for a short walk this afternoon while people were waiting for the very last competitor to come by. I hung around to wait for him. He was in good spirits and had a rousing round of applause. It was very moving. I admire anyone who can do this, however long it takes.
