Well it is Sheffield so you could sing the local national anthem?
"Out of touch, out of reach yeah
You could try to get closer to me
I'm in luck
I'm in deep, yeah
Hypnotized, I'm shakin' to my knees
I gotta know tonight if you're alone tonight
Can't stop this feeling
Can't stop this fire
Oh, I get hysterical, hysteria, oh can you feel it?
(Oh can you feel it?)
Do you believe it?
(Do you believe it?)
It's such a magical mysteria when you get that feelin'
(When you get that feelin')
Better start believin'
(Better start believin' it's a)
'Cos it's a miracle, oh say you will
Ooh babe
Hysteria when you're near"
Although then there young'un's might be more up for arctic monkeys?
I was much the same with the jogging bottoms-long tights-capri evolution over the years. Now I don't think twice about the long lycra shorts, (though shorty-shorts bring me out in a cold sweat), that is until I see the race photos
No matter how fast I am going, why do I always look like a shuffling barrel on legs?!!
I'll be a bit inconspicuous in a white tech top (from the Wilmslow half) and navy cycling shorts with a bright pink stripe and I'll be loitering around the 1.50 start.
Happy weekend
4932 wearing club vest (Sheffield running club ) and shorts plus some shades
hanging around the 1.45 start then its off to the dev cat for a drink
good luck and happy raceing
foo, the whole of the Sheffield Social forumites are heading to the Dev Cat also - its going to be cosy in there Sunday me thinks.
Dev Cats in town, Wellington St, juts down from the old Fire Station/BT or the Washington from the other direction. The HM takes you past the Washington.
It will be full of smelly HM runners Sunday
Oh well, the beer is already in the fridge ready for Sunday afternoon and I shall be aiming to be back in my car and on the way home by 12 so I can listen to the match.
(That's the mighty Villa against some other mediocre Midlands team)
getting excited now, looks like cake got his wish look,

Get your rain caps on!
Good on you Cakey boy!!
Good running everyone
I am looking for a lift from Liverpool
just found out that the buses and coaches don't go on early morning tomorrow, so in quite a desperate situation now and looking for a lift.
Alternatively, any advice how to get there in time is appreciated.
email me at simasgedis@gmail.com if you can help me out.
Cheers
Last minute problem best friends just had a little baby boy. Presently looking after there 4 year old waiting for the mother in law to get here and do a tag team style move. If she can't get here in time in the morning going to have to miss out tomorrow guys. Bloody rude of them to give birth today if you ask me.
Alway regardless of if with you lot in the morning Good luck!
well done to all who ran today...was it me or was it hot...and 'flatish'....hmmm I felt like I was going up hill all the way!
Still it's my first half and the home one too......
Just glad it's all over now....where's that wine?
Pete
Did you manage to run, Cake?
I'm back home and it's raining - but then it always rains this side of the Pennines
Wasn't a great run for me, turns out gardening on your rest day is hazardous to health; woke up this morning virtually unable to straighten my left leg. Hamstring screaming. I guess the hours bobbing and ducking around whilst weeding was like extreme squats. Doh. Thought I'd run it off in the first half, but it came back to haul down my times on the way back. Never mind, still faster than last year, though
Great event, well organised and loved the new style goody bag at the end - will definitely come in useful
Hope everyone had a good day out - who needs London?
PS And Villa won.
It was VERY HOT!!
Great event though almost faultless organisation.
Great support on Ecclesall Rd as always
Organisation was excellent, but WHY OH WHY did we have to wait till mile 10 for energy drink. Lost all energy by mile 8, ending 9min slower than last year.
Not to self - bring own drink next year!!
Results are up on www.sheffieldmarathon.co.uk
I did a 1:51:26...not bad. Shame I didn't crack 1:50...but that gives me something to aim for in the Great North Run
it was so warm and so many ppl seemed to callapse
HOT HOT HOT
bloody hell i think it was hotter than last year
i got round in 2hrs 11 which is 2 mns slower than last year but seeing as i spent yesterday in southampton volunteering for walk the walk breast cancer charity and didnt get to bed til midnight im happy with my time
and its spot on the timing i need for edinburgh marathon in 4 weeks
great to see a well organised race and the marshalls were excellent
Frodo Managed to run. but had a nice interesting brick session today. Cycled from mates to home. to Don valley, ran the race, cycled back to home to change clothes, cycled back to mates house and now watching peppa pig.
Basically about 40 miles plus cycling so far and all I need to do now is a little swimming and will by the end of today have done a half ironman. I cant feel my legs.
Nice lovely day. although opening my race pack of the day and not finding a chip was fecking annoying. More for going up to the late numbers desk explaining myself and being told that's £5. Er but you havn't sent me one? Thats £5 so no times but timed myself out at 3.02 and back again at 2 hour 23 minutes and 20 seconds. So not to shaby under the circumstances.
Well done everyone.
Oh Wonderpets.
been down in Oxford since Friday for my cousans baby daughter getting Baptised great day
and Dinda, I'd gnaw my right arm off for a sub-1.40
