Yesterday was the Brighton Marathon, in which a gazillion people of all shapes, sizes and levels of fitness put their joints and hearts under severe stress as they ran, walked and limped their way round the city and its environs.
As the runners/walkers/limpers came to the end of their travails many were limping, tending blistered feet and trying to prevent hypothermia getting in by shrouding themselves in turkey foil.
Those health risks aside, I was gemused to see a few light up a much needed fag at the end of the run and draw down the cure all to their woes nicotine and smoke.
So remind me again, jogging etc is meant to be good for you right???

Wonder if any of the money raised makes it directly to Brighton Hospital A & E - I'd imagine it was busier than usual yesterday (not that such news would ever make it into the local rag). Still, there's no gain without pain, though the run did kill someone a couple of years ago.
ReplyDeleteThe chap who invented jogging actually dropped dead a few years later; out jogging.
