    Edinburgh Half Marathon

    My son ran the Edinburgh half marathon yesterday to raise funds for a new hospital build in Haiti. I got to cheer him on in the wind and rain, and of course take a few pics! He did well, raised £830 (£1,660 because of a matched funding offer) and finished in 1hr 48 mins, within the first 20% 0f 5,500 runners. Not bad for his first h/m.

    First pic is of Steven.

            Many thanks everyone, I will pass on your congratulations to Steven.

            Loving the 40D Robin, just not finding enough time to get as much shooting in as I would like!

              Well done to your son. Out of the set, I think the last is my fave with the foil wrapped figures. I don't think alot would have considered that shot.

                Thanks Di, I wouldn’t have bothered except I saw the writing - the Rock and Roll concert planned for after was cancelled because most of the stage marquee was demolished by the wind and rain.

                Love the pic of my son, obviously, but my favourite probably is the third - such clear enjoyment and this was at the 8.5 mile stage!
