A Marathon Passes Me By

The Paris marathon took place yesterday.  The course passed by a mere block away.  I had thought to enter back in January but discovered it was already too late.  As it turns out, it's just as well: I would probably not have (or should not have, given the CFA exam which now looms) dedicated the time to train adequately.  And even if I had, the sleep deficit arising from the unforeseen events of Saturday morning would have affected performance.


I went up to the corner to see the runners, after my weekly visit to the market.  It was past 1 p.m. at that point, so anyone still on the course had been running for over four hours (with almost 10 kms to go).  There was still a steady stream - but obviously no Kenyans in this pack.
