Hello everyone
We had a great day today. Did our best time for a marathon since September 06 so very happy. Good to see so many of you, and doing so well too.
Gobi - we knew you wouldn't drop out - congratulations, take it easy now and give yourself a chance to recover properly! Hippo - what can I say - brilliant. Mick and Phil (I got it right) - so glad you received an award to recognise your huge effort and achievement. Thanks for the laugh before the start, it was good to see you laugh so much and when Phil joined in it was even better.
Well done to everybody who finished, regardless of how long it took - be proud. (If you are anything like me, be loud and proud)!

Hi all,
It was great to see you all enjoying todays run so much. I certainly enjoyed watching.
Comiserations to Colin and Brian for not finishing. At least you started!
Mick, your'e a STAR give Phil another hug from me.
I have written to Mick McGeoch to see if he will let me run Barry 40 as I need a long run before London.
Hippo, I'm so pleased that you are running so well now, keep it up.
No more threads from me on this one. See you all around the circuit sometime.
I still have 8 places left at Crawley if anyone fancies another ultra.
Well done all, great to see you racing... here's a pic of Mick n Phil I got on my phone:
Mick - read this tomorrow - Ultra dunc Ultra Dunc la la la la . See you on blackpool hm at some point .
Lands End to John O' Groats I ask you , if I recover well I'm gonna whip your hide Boy , if not I'll use you as a unoficial pacer lol
Congratulations to all who ran today. I was only spectating but was impressed by everyone I saw. I regularly run at Draycote but have never done more than two laps. (All in preparation for half marathons that have ultimately been slow.) I salute you all.
I can't comprehend doing a full marathon and 35 miles doesn't bear thinking about, you're all mad, in the nicest possible way !
Mick n Phil you are an inspiration. Long may you continue.
Will have an easy few days but will run later today.
Well done everyone.
Cas, if that was coming on then that might have triggered off the vertigo prob - or made it worse. As you say, a good decision. Get that ear sorted pronto.
Slept really badly - too hot, too sore, stomach decided that it wasn't actually happy with the Burger King, mars bar and crisps!! Had the light on about 3.30 reading. So glad I decided to take today off!!
Get well soon cas
(you, sensible???????????)
I have to go to work now
drove the 2 hours to cardiff this am
hungry
bit sore but a few ward rounds should sort that out
Oh so tired now with a couple of blisters and sore knees but oherwise I feel great.
I set out to get under 5 hours and I did it by 8 minutes . I woke up this morning feeling on top of the world. Now I think I am ready to try a 40 miler
It was good to see some of you again and also to meet some new folks. You are all stars!
Morning All,
Safely installed in Coventry Hospital (working not staying)
Don't know what to say about yesterday except what a fantastic day.
Prayers answered on weather front and some.
Met so many great people with honours I think to Mick n Phil who are just an inspiration.
Mick you should write a book!!!
Course beautiful although not flat !!!
A PB of course as it was my first so there you go.
Training could have gone better as my longest run prior to that was 18.5 still illness and injury aside --- I DID IT!
UKazz, you are a star and I knew early on you were in for a good one (BTW - Mrs Snowwy said I was MAD when I told here after)
(((((UCas)))))
Hippo,
Brilliant run well done on PB also.
Dunc -Strong run very impressive!
Gobi - Well done . YOU ARE A MACHINE! But you might need a service now!
To so many others
Morning all - what a great day, really enjoyed it. Good also to finally say hello to some of you, Gobi and MicknPhil, hi again.
AJH, thanks for pulling me along, you certainly made the run a pleasure, so much better to chat along the way.
Very happy with a 6:12 - just another step along the way to the Big C in June.
aye... as i kept saying yesterday... i dont doo FETCH !
(nothing personal, its just not my colour)
Hey folks, lots of fun yesterday and not too sore today. That's probably because I decided to relax oncw Isaw I was slowing down rather than push it. With 50k in my legs I'd probably have blown up.
Made it over to teh concert at Buxton, which was well worth the effort. I walked through the front door just as they were announcing 1 minute to the start of the performance.
Sure -
1st lot
2nd lot
3rd lot
Erm... you can use the inbuilt CSS to alter the colour. I use Samba (think Brasil flag)
