I woke up this morning to the sudden realization that the London marathon would be passing by just a few hundred meters from my front door in a few hours. So I postponed breakfast, grabbed my camera and headed out the door, meeting up with Lindsay, Vilj, and Bruce by coincidence a bit later on.

I'm not exactly a marathon fan but it was an easy opportunity to see one of the great distance events in the world. And I'll admit, watching all the joe-averages who had committed to running the event (especially the ones running for charity) made me feel like a right lazy bastard. Almost to the point that I made the commitment to run it myself next year.

But not quite.
