I spent a large chunk of yesterday standing at this spot waiting to cheer on some friends doing the Paris Marathon. I stood for 3 and a half hours and never saw them yet! However, I did see an old friend - although I never knew he was running the marathon - and was able to encourage him along. The 30 km mark is known as the wall, or the 'Mur du 30'. It was a beautiful day as you can see. A marathon tempts me greatly, but I've never plucked up the courage yet. I've done a couple of half marathons, so who knows, maybe one day?!
Go for it, Issi! You can do it! The thought of running 30 km sounds a bit daunting to me but you're a cyclist so you're already well prepared. A day like this one is perfect for a racing event.
Definitely go for it (says the woman who hates running with a passion!) Nice sign to remind the runners they've hit the wall just in case they hadn't noticed ;) Your trees look quite advanced there with all those leaves! I like the reflections in his sunglasses.
