My son in law just ran the Edinburgh Marathon in 3 hours 9 mins. Whoo-hoo! Congrats Ian Kenton!
He's been running for about 4 years but this was his first competitive marathon after training for 6 months. We thought he might not manage it since he's been fighing off the remains of a chest cold all week, but he did and ran it in a fantastic time!

Nicely done.

Congratulations to your son-in-law. Our daughter was going to compete, but had to back out at short notice due to pressure of work.

Ian was worried that the chest cold would stop him from competing. It's difficult to run 26 miles when you're wheezing, and on Saturday he was bordeline, but obviously a bite better by Sunday.

Congratulations!

I think it must be a huge satisfaction to run that distance just once. Of course in order to be in training you need to run many times that distance. Ah well, I think it's one of those things I shall be happy to congratulate other people on! :)

He's run the distance in training but this was his first time in a competition. Pretty good time, too.
