It has taken 42 yar but I was back at the Melbourne Marathon for the first time since 1983. It must have hurt that much. The entry fees have quadrupled and they start and finish at the MCG so no more running from Frankston. You do get a tad better service with athlete tracking and a massive sports trade show to check out. Back then there were 7,000 of us, no 10kms, no 21kms, just marathon runners. This time around there were 50,000 of them doing different distances and they all brought family and friends so the crowds at the finish line were huge. Daniel finished at least 30mins faster than I did back when. Now we have to wait til Asher and Kaia give this a go.
