More taper madness.

It’s shopping time, and it’s my favourite kind of shopping. Online, on my couch, with a gin and tonic in my hand.

Look at this at Lift Your Sole – this is just the most gorgeous marathon jewellery.

26.2: courage to start, strength to endure, resolve to finish

I found the link to these at Tall Mom’s blog.

You can even get one customised with whatever you want. (Yes my husband does read my blog. Yes I am hinting!)

Next on my shopping list:

My copy is on the way and I can’t wait to read it. Sarah the co-author, is one of my Twitter running friends and she has a marathon on the 25th too.

In other news (yes this is disjointed and rambling, you noticed) I’ll be watching this on Friday:

Dispatches on Channel 4.

Journalist Ben Laurance looks at what it costs to stage the London Marathon, how much money it generates and the extent of its charitable giving.
In 2009, 36,000 participants in the London Marathon raised a phenomenal £47 million, cementing the Marathon’s place as the biggest one-day fundraising event in the world.
In the course of his investigation Ben discovers who the lucky recipients are of some of the money distributed by the London Marathon race organisers. He also talks to leading charities about the amount they pay to take part, the competition for places, and asks why hundreds of desperate charities are left without a place in Britain’s biggest fundraising event.

Right. Ramblings over.

Only two weeks and two days left to go.
