Hiroshima Trip - Hiroshima Peace Marathon














Despite being in really bad shape and not ready to run 10km John entering into the Peace Marathon (only 10km) seemed like a good idea- as we would combine it with the trip to the Shrine and all the catching up with friends.

The weather was the same as last year- clear dry and hot for a November day so John trundled round in 52'15"- This was 8 minutes slower than last year but at least this time was a bit more enjoyable.













I'm the one in lime green by the way- this was just at the end and I was winding up the pace and preparing for a sprint to the line. Well that's what it felt like in my world anyway. The camera never lies though and yes my legs are really that short- it's hereditary....

















It's quite normal for people (who must be completely mad) to run in costume- which increases their chances of winning a price and having photos taken. I'm sure this guy or girl was regretting this decision. Archie keeps his distance....

We also took Millie along as well but she wasn't too impressed by the whole thing..
