Run fat boy, run!

Grant ran the Edinburgh marathon on May 22 in 4hrs 24min!!! He ran for prostate cancer charity and raised a lot of money!! Very proud!

Dinner of champions, carb loading! Pasta and garlic toast!!

Had to slip one of me in there.
Beautiful Edinburgh

Breakfast of champions! It was very hard to Grant to eat his toast and oatmeal while I had the full cooked breakfast!








4 hrs 24min, still standing and enjoying a beer!!

Grants family from Liverpool who came all the way up to support him!!

So proud!!

Enjoying the celebratory dinner and drinks
