Leaving 1 Shaw Street |
At the starting line |
Notice the fleeces...it was COLD! |
| 
We got rid of our warm clothes and lined up at the starting line... |
...and we're off! |
the start of the marathon, while running... |
| 
We ran along the Shankill and the Falls Road, a Protestant and a Catholic
area...these were some murals we passed along the way |
Julianne is still a happy camper... |
Stuart's parents, cheering us on at mile 9 |
| 
They did a better job of taking our picture than I did of taking theirs! |
Stu and Ju, running up a never ending hill... |
This stretch was beautiful at first (see the water on the left) but
was also completely remote, from miles 17-21, no water, no cheering,
and we even ran past the city dump!! |
| 
Notice the lorries (trucks) waiting (with their engines running!) alongside
the runners...at points Stu's parents even saw the runners stopped
to let the trucks through!! |
Stu and Ju, near the docks |
Julianne, running through the park...the words coming out of her mouth--where
the heck is the finish line?! |
| 
We did it! (medals to prove it) |
That night at Stu's parents for dinner...what you can't see is the
inability for us to walk! |
