Marathon in France

The reason the people I was meeting were in Paris this weekend at all was because several of them were going to run the Paris Marathon. In fact, due to injury, all but one wound up dropping out. But on Sunday morning, we watched the marathon and cheered on that one person.

This is how you know you’re watching a marathon in France:

That woman seems to be looking for the Julia Child Memorial Relay Race.

She did eventually participate in a race of her own--the race to cross the street. Fearless, these competitors ran, biked, and strolled across the marathon route with nary a gendarme in sight.

Another instance of jaywalking. I looked up the meaning and "jay" means an inexperienced person. You, in London, and this lady, in Paris, don't fit the mold since you both had to gain experience and confidance in order to try it.
