Got the wrong email yesterday:
Not a very happy turn on otherwise a happy, productive day.
Ever the optimist, I had a look at the ‘good for speed’ qualification times.
My current marathon PB is 3:59.
Good for age for my age group at London Marathon is 3:02.
The olympics qualification criteria last time around was 2:14.
From my perspective, the probability of me posting a London marathon qualifying time is almost the same as me qualifying for Tokyo olympics marathon with Team GB :)
5 years of ‘Sorry’ magazines, and then two consecutive ‘You’re in’ ones.
Time to dig up those running shoes from the storage.
Woke up happy. The book last night had been good, the bed had been better than previous night, and the dream was not a negative one like usual.
Got happier. Someone donated £5.00 to the Clutter Free fund. Thanks Rami!
Got happier. Got the “You’re in” magazine from London Marathon ballot. I’ll finally be running the London marathon after 4 attempts!
And then happiest person around. Kissed and hugged and made up with mi amore. And hugged some more1 :)
The Mayor added that the situation he found himself in was typically British. “I am proud to be British. No other country or culture in the world would have a situation where the mayor of the host city goes into a ballot for tickets for his family and gets rejected.”
He joked: “I suspect Locog has done this deliberately to cheer up everyone else.”
Don’t even try this as a joke with a politician in India!
