Dubai Marathon
We went to the Dubai marathon - hoping to see a world record broken but also to support two of our compound mates who ran. The marathon route came pretty close to our villa so we could just walk to it. Larry and Elle left the house around 6:30 hoping to get to see the lead runner - and they did - in the dark. Dani and I left around 6:45 am along with many others from our compound. It was a rare cold rainy day. We got to see our friends run by. Then we were able to see the leader running back on the return route. We cheered him on to hopefully break a world record, but alas he did not, bummer. The girls are into the Guinness Book of World Records so it would have been cool for them to see the record broken.
