Morning all, sleep not disturbed by any phone calls so guess they have their 6.
Very windy and stormy here, need to put in long run this weekend but forecast much better for tomorrow, so probably will be tomorrow. Have a 10 mile race the following weekend so will change my running pattern to decrease mileage as the week goes on.
Despite not winning a place the banter on here has been very funny. Hope somebody who has been on the thread gets a place though, it'll feel like you know the person you're voting for.
EP have slept with my phone all week. We've become good friends though she has been just a bit quiet for me!

Evil Pixie - all my club places have been taken for next years race (2010) so I'll deffo get a place for 2011
No phonecalls here either, but I guess the folks at RW don't do weekends, and that the top 18-24 have already been chosen.
Still, I'm looking forward to seeing who did get picked, it's almost like xfactor, hopefully without the likes of Jedward
There's obviously something wrong with my email, RW couldn't get me by phone yesterday evening (out partying) but they forgot to send the email to say I was in.
I like the idea of beer and pies diet for marathons, maybe my diet is why my time isn't improving, not enough beer and pies. Current diet, coffee, mars bars, breakfast pasty (sausage, bacon, egg & beans in a pasty), coke, red bull and mars bars, then when I get home a 'proper' meal with the family (OH chops up the veggies so I can't see them
) and a beer.
Oh well, I'll have to go to little WLs 5th birthday party on 5th December now - another cunning plan to escape from the kiddies party scuppered.
I love running in the rain
Just not if it's blowing a hooligan
Smiley JG, yep, she's out of it.
Personally I don't mind rain when running, actually a light drizzle normally makes for perfect conditions, its just hard to go out in if it is coming down in stair rods style. Once you're out though you're committed. Or I suppose most non runners would say you should be committed!
I don't like wind when running. I'm worried something may happen????.....I do love running in the rain tho, the looks you get from people in their little metal airconditioned smelly things on wheels makes me laugh out loud!.......Sorry no-one appears to have got in. How are we supposed to vote for anyone now???....They just don't care do they?....

. Good luck with the race John, I'm not racing until after Christmas now, may have to have an operation on my leg shortly, so have to rest up for a while.
Are they going to honour the voting system then?
Or ignore it as usual?
I feel like Simon Cowell.....
But with slightly less chest hair.
How frustrating Simon! That must have been gutting.
Reading between the lines about the Cambridge Boundary Run, I doubt there'll be a certificate or a newspaper to clip!
I did edinburgh as my first marathon in 2006 and loved it....enjoy...
waiitng for the voting monday..........the marathon i'm doing is only taking 250 people so is going to be much quieter than London..........but I have got a guaranteed entry for Londoin in 2011
I'll be very interested to see who they chosen to be on the short list.
With respect to those picked last time, some of them had very similar aspirations and it appeared a bit samey.
I might just do that, might be a bit dull though.
Monday: Ran 6 miles ate chips, drank lager
Tuesady Ran 8 miles ate curry, drank guinness
Weds : Ran to toilet
By request I have started an anti-thread to the Lucozade SuperSix.

Pre- London warm up booked. Retford Half Marathon.
Beautiful run this morning despite weather forecast and last two days of torrential rain and wind. Sun was out, no wind, very calm, and still yellow leaves on the trees. Eight miler with a pit stop for coffee at the end.
Set up up for the day!
