I find it hard not to get inspired by the London marathon. Seeing runners of all ages and abilities taking to the streets and running 26.2 miles is an incredible feat and hearing many of the stories about why they are running the race and the charities they are supporting makes it an even more emotional event. I always get choked up when watching. So, congratulations to everyone who took part at the weekend – especially those of my friends of whom I am super proud!
Although I didn’t go to watch it in person this year (I decided the mixture of crowds, late pregnancy and a three year old might be a bit too much), I have supported my husband from the sidelines on the three occasions he has run. One day I would like to be one of those runners pounding the streets of London…just the small matter of giving birth and getting my fitness back first! I hope you have been enjoying some city sights this week. Thanks to everyone who linked up to City Tripping last week. Our top picks were…
Nantes And Its Fabulous Giant Elephant – Lou Messugo
Snapshots From Prague – Piccolo Explorer
House Sit Becoming Nightmare in Kenya – Grey World Nomads

What is City Tripping?
City Tripping is the place to come and link up your city-related posts. We want to find out the best of things to do and see in the city, any city in the world, whether you are travelling as a family, a couple or with friends and even if it is your home turf.

– Please add the City Tripping badge to the bottom of the post or link back to either Mummytravels.com or Wandermum.co.uk – the badge code is below
– Posts must be about your experiences in a city – any city, from reviews of days out to longer breaks
– Please share the linky love and comment on the two hosts’ posts and at least two others which take your fancy, using #citytripping so everyone knows you’re visiting from the linky
