Paste above for video of the run (highlights!!)
I managed a substitute for the marathon on The night of 25/26th April. It was definitely lockdown compliant as only out of the home for one hour per day:
20:30-23:00: 300 laps of the garden (approx half marathon)
23:00-01:00: one hour on Saturday and one hour on Sunday: rest of marathon.
Fair play to Ben. He rowed 42km on Sunday morning!!!!!

2 brothers with 44 years of bitter rivalry and it all comes down to 1 day, 1 race and 1 great cause.
Ben and I are running the London Marathon on 26th April 2020. There may be a few other folk running too and we wish them the very best. However, in my head, there is only one other runner and that is my brother, Ben.
Yes, the loser of this race will suffer humiliation and defeat.
To demonstrate our commitment to the charity, if we both achieve our fundraising target at the finish line we will both chew on a tablespoon of Abale Samalini (the worlds hottest chilli sauce) for 60 seconds. Furthermore, he that raises the least amount of money will perform 50 burpies in front of the other, stating 'You are a legend and I am scum' as a mark of respect.
Why Sight savers?
36 million people worldwide are blind, 75% of this blindness is preventable
Almost all of those affected live in developing countries and the tragedy is that most of these people didn’t have to go blind at all.
Sightsavers works in some of the poorest areas of the world to protect sight, prevent avoidable blindness and fight for the rights of people with disabilities.
How will it make a difference?
By donating to Sightsavers, you could help to provide a cataract operation or protect an entire family or community against diseases that cause painful and needless blindness.
These operations and treatments can transform people’s lives. You could give a person back their independence and means of earning a living, or enable a child to attend and fully participate in school. Your support can be truly life-changing and we’re so grateful that you’re considering making a donation.
Any small donations add up:
For just £10 we can provide a simple antibiotic treatment to protect 50 families from river blindness.
As little as £30 can pay for a straightforward operation to restore the sight of an adult with cataracts.
