365th Marathon for Aaron and his dogs
Aaron Robinson can be seen every morning on Wanstead Flats running with his two collie dogs, which is impressive in itself (both going for a daily run and keeping up with a pair of collies). Although I’ve spotted him most days when I take my own dog for a walk, I didn’t realise quite how…
