1. Running a marathon is anything but easy.

2. Some / Something like / About / Around / Approximately 34,000 people took part in the London Marathon in 2013.

3. My friend Katie runs the London Marathon every second year / every other year / every two years.

4. She says that there's nothing like completing the race along with thousands of other participants.

5. I, too, hope to participate in the race some day / one day.

6. The trouble is, I’m sitting in a wheelchair. But one way or another / somehow or other I'll get there.

7. At any rate / In any case / Anyhow / Anyway, in 2013 American Tatyana McFadden won the women’s wheelchair race with a new course record 1:46:02.

8. I bet Lloyd Scott, who completed the marathon in 2002, was happy to reach the finish.
And none too soon / none too early. He was wearing a deep sea diving suit weighing 50 kilos, with each shoe weighing 11 kilos. He also set a record for the slowest London Marathon time.
