<1>On 23 April, Digger the best mascot in the Guinness Premiership (with the help of season ticket holder Steve Orton) ran the Flora London Marathon. If you didn't manage to catch the results, Digger bounded home in a world best time'but as you probably did see the results he finished'.eventually!
The day was very wet ' which is not good for an old dogs paws. But the run started well, we all set off from Greenwich and headed toward central London.
The rain continued to fall but spirits were lifted by the fantastic crowd who were supplying dog treats all around the course. I was a bit confused as people thought I was everything from a rat to a buffalo'don't they know who I am, obviously not rugby fans!
I loved the support waving to people, hugging people and generally having fun. Tower bridge was definitely the highlight, running onto the bridge and being hit by a wall of noise with cheering was just the lift a dog tired runner needed.
Toward the end my paws where sore and I was going slowly, but I finished in the record time of 6 hours 39 minutes (well it's a record for Digger anyway).
The crowd was fantastic despite the horrible weather, I had great support all the way through training and during the race. I was running for the charity Spinal Research, and am happy to say so far have raised over
2500 with your help, and its still growing!
