I just want to say something, I lined up behind the 3:45 pacer lad at the start this morning and there was a lad running in memory of his daughter, he had her photograph on the back of his shirt, she must only have been 8 or 9, I had no sun glasses on today as I threw them away in a temper last week when things were getting tough, I started crying when I saw that picture, I was overcome with the emotion of it all, I looked around and saw the greatness of humanity lined up beside me. I run for a charity myself for a disease that shortens life, I said to myself " Tassotti, you have to do this today" well I didn’t go out and smash it in the end, I hit the wall at 23 and started roaring at myself out loud, I don’t even know what I was saying, the crowd was unreal, I started playing the chariots of fire theme tune in my head, i was grasping to anything to alleviate the pain. People of Manchester I Love you.
