Great picture, @pcoulson!
He certainly looks fresher than I would at that stage!
Well done, Simon! 👏

Love the Batman in the background too.

Impressive. Our daughter's boyfriend also completed the Manchester Marathon today!

A super memento for him to keep.

A great capture of Simon (along with his wife and son)! Clearly, running runs in the family, Peter! Well done, SImon and Jacob (?) or Ethan (?)

@365projectorgheatherb Running and keeping fit is well established in our family for sure Heather. It’s Jacob the budding photographer running along side, funnily his camera was in a bag with me, he just saw his dad in the distance and run to him forgetting to take his camera hence he was using his mobile phone:)
