My London Marathon official photographs!!!

My London Marathon official photographs - done at an AGM meeting of the Howard League on 04.11.2015 by their professional photographer.

He made about 25 of them, and I had to chose one out of them.

I am useless when it comes to photographing me.

The camera does not love me.

I am no Princess Diana or Kate Middleton who out of 25 made photos , would probably have 26 good ones!

Oh well.... we work with what we have been given in life.

Guess which one I have chosen for the official Virgin Marathon website?

You guessed: the one with the T-shirt!

And THE SMILE!

I have been given the official T-shirt as well. That is the one I will be running in!

And I love it.

The front is as you see it, but on the back it says: 

"Less crime, safer communities, fewer people in prison."

That's all what we, as a society should be striving for!

And I am so proud that I will be running in the year of the Howard League's 150th birthday!

There will be lot's of cake!

And I hope I will be allowed to eat it by that time!
