And the ability to say 'I've run a marathon!'

Was told a while back, that I wasn't a proper runner because I hadn't!!!

Guess Mo Farah isn't a proper runner then eh? ;-)

I don't think 10m/m is slow either!

Good luck Mrs B :)

And Usain Bolt? He isn't a runner either!

Have been doing 'Drugs in sport' with my GCSE classes and watched this about Marion Jones:

I guess the comment 'This is the Olympics - you're not supposed to win that easily' says it all about that young lady! I remember watching they Sydney Olympics and being so impressed by her :-(

I was the same with Marion Jones. I thought she was amazing, but it really is sad that they ruin their lives for that brief moment of "glory". Didn't both her former partners get caught too? The shotputter (can't remember his name) and Tim Montgomery?

By the way, Mrs B, while it is a great achievement to run a marathon (and I feel proud that I've done it) you are most definitely a runner; marathon or no marathon :-)

Both her partners are in that video. Paula Radcliffe is on there too (as are several other people) but having watched this with 3 classes in the last week, all I want to do is shout at her for not checking her makeup! She has mascara in her eyebrows!
