Turin Marathon

Rob again ran in the Turin marathon and did his best time in ages.  The race was much better supported by the public this time and there were many people out in the streets cheering runners on.  Rob said that there were groups of women in traditional dress singing folk songs in some of the towns.

Once again the African runners were the top placegetters

The first woman to finish got heaps of applause

A group of runners ran together from Piazza San Carlo in remembrance of those killed at the Boston Marathon. They ran at the same time as when the first bomb went off in Boston



Glad to be finished
