Mine arrived too!! Yipeeee
Be seeing you all at the green start in 2008! My GFA came today!
I now have a permanent smile on my face!
So am I - harumph! Being a 'W' clearly has it's disadvantages. Why, even in my schooldays when they arranged the class in alphabetical order, I was usually sitting at the back of the class. Oh to be Mr Aardvark!
Got my entry form today - that was fast considering I only sent my application off on Monday. Hopefully shouldn'e be too much longer for anyone else still waiting.
Off to book my accomodation now...

In the post today
And wifey thinking about an August holiday, so double bonus.
I wonder if I need to change my hotel booking?
Got mine today
Got to do another sub 3:15 now to get in for 2009!
OtR
Got mine on Saturday and it was filled in and sent back to them straight away.
Just wish the cutty sark would be fully restored a year early for some extra cheer.
I've got mine.
Just got decide wether to send it back!

I think I will be sending it back, but I'll give it a few days, get this race out of the way at the weekend then I'll sort it.
Why the doubts Marshallini?
Hooray and open a bottle of fizzy. The form has at last arrived at a 'W' surname household. FLM 2008 will be my first as a V50, I managed a PB at 49 so I will no doubt try for another one.
I'll be V40 for FLM.
The doubts are just post marathon/race doldrums.
Can I be bothered actually training for a faster time (2:45).
I didn't actually train specifically for my qualifying time or indeed a marathon, I was just running and hit a purple patch, found a marathon entered it and went for it. The target was always sub 3, but not to get the GFA, that was just a bonus.
I got in through the ballot in 2006 but got injured before I even started marathon training so defered, then in 2007 I was injured again. Third time lucky?
The form's filled in, just need to find my cheque book and sort out the registered post thing.
Got mine yesterday - 29166
Targetting sub-3 but will probably only manage 3:10 ish. Fingers crossed for an injury free run-up to April.
got my entry today
may not even send it back as number is
3:03:30 gutted i will fail to break 3 hours again
Closing date for receipt of GFA entries is looming (19th Oct) and the postal strike is not helping. So to calm my nerves I phoned FLM today and they confirmed that returned form had been received. They were very pleasant and helpful.
Just need to start doing so training now .... anyone else looking for 3.35 time?
Time to up the weekly mileage!
Tripped over a few weeks back. Thought the damage was superficial, but knee kept hurting. Physio said it was 'bone bruising' and I could still do my mara and rest up after. It's got a lot worse though, so I had it checked out by high powered (very expensive) sports doc today and he said cartilage in knee is bruised too, and if I run on it (especially long and hard), cartilage might detach altogether, and I might never run again. I'm feeling very self pitiful at the moment!!!
