I feel sorry for the people who finish just after him!
"I was beaten by a guy dressed in . . . . ."
Hi Group 7,
My number is 8768 and I'll be wearing a yellow Cystic Fibrosis running vest with my name ALUN on the back and front, not too sure about the shorts yet. I'm hoping to gte to 17 miles in around 2hr35mins if all goes well.
Great to see that we have a few Welsh people in the group, just getting over that bridge is a big enough experience for most of us.
BTW, which side of the road will you be on, my left or right.
My details are
Name - Vince
Wearing Orange MS Society vest with Vince on front and Eaglefever on the back (FLM forum name). black shorts
Estimated at 17 miles @2 hrs 40. (I will try to find ALUn en route...
Special needs Bananas!!
Thanks so much for this brilliant support group
regards
Vince

Hello from Support Group 1!!
In case you haven't seen the message on the main forum - the usual spot at Mudchute is now available (hoardings that were blocking the way have now been removed) so we are good to go!!
I've emailed pics to Barley which he'll hopefully be able to put up (I couldn't figure out how to do it...) so those that don't know where the "usual" is will be able to find it.
See you all next week!!
add to my details Runner 7794,
Thanks
Hello hello group 7!
Forum name: hareandtortiose
Real name: Louise
Race no: 25965
Wearing: Children with Leukaemia vest with LOUISE on front, navy shorts
Time to 17 miles: about 3 hoursish hopefully
Special needs: cheers please!
Sorry for all the gaps don't know what's happened. Go group 7!
MadWelshWoman - do you post on the Swansea 5k thread? Lots of locals on that one. Good luck with your race.
Good luck to you all!! This time next week......!
Confirmation of support area position
The supporters will be at the usual location on the left hand side of the road by the railings after the pedestrian crossing next to Mudchute DLR Station (The hoardings have now been moved)
Runners - there are Blue hoardings to the left just before the Zebra crossing, the supporters will be on the left immediately after the hoardings.
I have posted some pictures on page 30 (near the bottom of the page) on the Runners and Supporters thread
Nutty - I did two of the 5K's last year (slowly). I am planning on doing the the three this year but it depends on how my various injuries hold up after FLM.
Aitch from Group 2 just checking in with a special request....
One of our runners, Soup Draggon (Julie), celebrates her 50th Birthday on race day! She's leaving a little cake and candle at the Expo and we're going to light the candle so she can blow it out at mile 17 (then eat the cake, obviously). I thought it would be nice if we could all sing Happy Birthday to her as well!! She's estimating it will take her 3 hours 20 min to reach mile 17 so if supporters could get their best singing voices ready I'm sure she'd really appreciate it!!
Thanks
Aitch - group 2 co-captain
Hi Group 7ers,
Thanks to all of you supporters who will be there at mile 17, I know I'm going to need all the support I can get. I'm going to be 60 this year so this marathon (my first for over 30 years) is going to be my swan-song. The training has gone pretty well, had a scare about 7 weeks ago when I thought I'd torn a calf muscle but after 2 weeks rest it's all cleared up.
Don't know about the rest of you but I'm starting to get a little less confident about the run now, not too sure why but I'm sure it will go ok, hopefully finish in around 4.10
Thanks again
SM
Plenty of rest for these last few days, then.
I shall try to bring some bananas, but unfortunately I am
travelling to FLM in the company of a banana-phobic. I shall
have to try and conceal them in layers of packaging or something.

Hi group 7!!
I am starting to get so excited/nervous now i am bouncing off the walls!! Thanks so much for doing this, is very much appreciated! I am hoping to keep up a 12/min mile pace so hopefully my time above is fairly accurate.
