This is me!

Hi Tia.  I remember you and cheered you on.  Not many fetch tops around so you stood out.

I've been looking at the Clarendon website, thinking of doing the half as my mara schedule has me doing a 16miler that day so would be do-able.

[Deleted User]

yes, i wondered about that too, tinytia. which mara are you doing? i'm doing abo

SuperCaz

I'll be spectating and designated driver for my friends and Hubby who are doing the full so if I see you I will cheer again.

 RD-I'm doing Amsterdam Mara same day as Abingdon

[Deleted User]

that's probably why our schedules match, then

tiny tia

Yep, I guess so  

[Deleted User]

have you done amsterdam before? would like to know what you think of it - i like the idea of doing it.

tiny tia

No, not done Ams Mara before but looking forward to it. I kinda wanna do every mara I look at!!
I did Brussels mara back in 2004 while we were living there, then South Downs Mara last year which I loved. I have a deferred place for London next year which I'm also excited about

What about you? previous mara?

Nice to put a face to a name

tiny tia

iwtt- You're welcome

tiny tia

SuperCaz- a cheer would be great  I've just printed off an entry form so will be doing the half.

i've only done the shakespeare so far, but i'm hooked! i'm booked to do the hastings in december - but very slowly as it's not long after abingdon.

i've got so many maras i want to do - including the clarendon and the neolithic which are both local for me which is a bonus

tiny tia

Yes I also have my sights set on doing the Clarendon full and Neolithic eventually, as they aren't too far away (I'm in Dorset) Trying to keep a balance with family life prevents me going too mad and entering too many but doesn't stop me wanting to do more

[Deleted User]

my two are both in their teens now so off doing their own thing, and i'm persuading oh it's a good idea to start running a bit further and join me - so i'm in a potentially very dangerous situation

tiny tia

We have 5 kids ranging from 12 to 18 yrs old and my hubby Jon is pretty much unable to run now (apart from the odd 10k at a jog) since having foot surgery, but the family know how important running is to me.

[Deleted User]

blimey, that 's a lot of teenagers to keep track of (and give lifts to!!). such a shame about your hubby tho! it's good they understand how much it matters to you tho, i think a lot of families struggle with that.

Wrinty

The results of all of the runs are now up and rather disappointingly I am listed as did not start!!! Thank goodness for sports photo's - I have written in quoting the picture which shows me coming in just behind the 5th place (according to the published results) runner.

Off Roader

Wrinty, I live near Salisbury and have just read the Salisbury Journal's coverage of this event. It includes pictures of the start. You are there - assuming you were number 278 wearing a yellow vest.

[Deleted User]

you can't get much more proof than that

Wrinty

The organiser has eMailed me a revised set of results that now show me in fifth place apparently I was written down as 2278 and not 278. Still like to get my hands on a copy of the Salisbury Journal (it doesn't distribute as far as Melksham).

Wrinty

I have just found an online video of the event http://www.vision-news.tv/page_single_v1.php?page_id=289&nwsid=1513 well worth a watch.

which witch

hey funny how i dont remember seeing a videocamera and yet i walk right in front of it just before the ennd of the film (in distinctive yellow and emerald!) and even smile in its general direction several times. im feeling rather silly just now! there goes my 3 seconds of fame...dammit.

[Deleted User]

congratulations wrinty!!

SuperCaz

Why are the last 10 seconds footage of my bum?  Couldn't they have chosen someone elses bum?  They are all laughing at me at running club.
