I have never been to watch a marathon before, and today was no different. I like running them, but the thought of scanning 35,000 people to try and catch a glimpse of Gordon Ramsay just doesn't appeal. Instead, in homage to the great race, I entered my first cross country run in Hampshire. 3 stiles, a ford, and a dairy farm later I finished just behind an old man (pictured). I ran the 11K in 57 minutes which was OK but I had a few issues with my walkman, wearing too many layers and nearly choking on a jelly baby.
When I got home I relaxed with a tea and a copy of The Sunday Times Rich List to discover that a guy I had relations with is on the Young Millionaires list. He shares 20th place, squeezed between Cheryl Cole and Katie Melua. The earth didn't exactly move between us, but perhaps if he had been squeezed next to someone like the artist know as Prince and his 250 millions I would have made the house quake myself.
