Just thought I'd try and wake people up a bit
it's still very quiet in here is everyone okay? I'm having a lovely day so far, other than the fact it's all lurvely and sunny outside and I'm stuck in the office..................roll on the weekend!!!!!
Hi Karen and all the other Group 10 Supporters. I am duly woken up!
I have emailed you my details.
I am getting very excited now (and a tad nervous too). It is my first marathon and I have no idea what to expect. I know Jelly Babies are very popular and so will leave a supply at the Expo for the Group 10 use generally. Hope that is OK.
Am looking forward to meeting you all on the day.
Woot woot we have naother runner
lol
I'm really far more excited at this point in time thanI should be and I'm not even running this year!!!!!!! You guys are going to have a ball, I can't wait to meet you all!
Hi Karen, how many runners we up to now?
Happy Tapering this weekend
Hi Gill! So far of our list of 30 runners (including late adoptions lol) we've got details for 11, another set promised as soon as he gets back to his PC (EI22RE you know who you are
) and I reckon Andy and Jennifer Sangster will be along soonish to say hi and give us their info.
So actually, we're not doing too bad!! It's just a bit quiet.............or maybe that's me being a bit loud......
Sorry boss was hanging round all afternoon so couldn't say Hi!
Details will be provided for jen and I asap!
Evening all not sure if I am on here or on Hash's as requested but I will post my details on here anyway and on 7 but I will probably need two lots of kicks up the back sides to keep going by mile 17.
Mark Street 2 with Beanie on the front of my light blue shirt and on the back of my Bowel & Cancer Research vest as per the picture below. Just a few jelly babies will do me thanks and an encouraging roar when I approach. My third attempt to get to the start so dont worry if I am not there!!! But I will be this time even if I am walking. Time will be about 20 mins to get over the start and then 2hours 45 mins approx minimum before I stagger into sight.
Number on shirt will be 53611.
Massive thanks to all of the supporters groups.
Hola!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome Mark - I think you may have drawn the short straw (
) with us but we will forgive you if you do decide to defect, you'll still get a big old cheer from us lot anyway we're generous like that!!!! 
hehe only kidding lol will add you to our list and then if the guys in the other group have you too then as you say you'll get a double kick up the jacksie to carry on going! 
You'll be fab on the day have no fear on that one, will definitely be keeping a massive eye out for you coming through, will have a very large bowl of jell babies with your name on - would you like them avec vodka or without
K x
morning everyone
just want to wish EVERYONE all the very best on the day - i hope everyone has a fab time, and that all the runners get a photo of themselves with both feet off the ground!! (i got one last year and was thrilled!!
)
i've had to defer til next year because of a hurty hip problem, but i will be watching on tv and wishing i was there.
good luck
and a huge well done to the supporters - mile 17 is great
thanks mattoo
yep i shall be there next year - hurty hip or no......
i see it's your first marathon - i hope you have a fantastic day. the atmosphere is fanstastic and i found it a really emotional event last year, especially rounding the corner at the palace and seeing the finishing chutes
have a great time
Hi,
Posted a message on the main mile 17 thread - is it too late for me to register myself as a runner supported by group 10?
Definitely think I will need the support! I think I will be at 17 miles at around 12.20 - 12.30 or so, will be wearing a Children with Leukaemia vest, and I am number 36766.
All I will need is some fruit pastilles which I can bring along to the Expo!
Cheers, Aidan
Hello, thanks in advance for the support!! Got my charity vest this morning and now feel more nervous than excited Maybe 1st marathon nerves. I assume everyone has been there...
Here are my details:
Forum name - Melon
Name (suggest you email this if unhappy to divulge via the forum) - Helen
Race number - 42692
Estimated time to mile 17 - who knows!! Maybe 2.50-3 hours?
What you'll be wearing - black capri tights with shirt over, black top and bright green and blue Mind charity vest with MELON written on it!
Any special needs* - lots! Seriously, I would love jelly beans or gels and I heard that hugs were given out last year?! I think I might need one if that's still available.
And finally - here's the information for Jennifer and I!!

Hi Melon.... a fellow Mind runner and 1st time marathoner! I too had the same panic yesterday morning when I got my running vest. It suddenly seems very real and not such a good idea!! I am sure that will pass though when we get to the start.... I hope so anyway otherwise I will be queueing at all the public conveniences en route!!
Which colour start are you in? Not that I am likely to see you and you'll be through Mile 17 before me so I'll wish you luck now. Hope you enjoy it. Are you going to the Mind after race reception?
Support team, are you okay with mixing up one of those ever so tasty powdered drinks for me? I'll put the powder in the bottle and just need someone to add water (or vodka!) and shake on the day?
Becks
Sorry - hadn't realised that Andy had put my details on his entry and can't work out how to delete the post!
I am contactable under this forum name as well as through Andy's posted above
Hi All in Supporters Group 10.
Wow I'm amazed with all the hard work that's going into setting the supporters group's up, A Big Thank You........ well in advance. Only two weeks to go its mad, I'm excited, nervous (first Marathon) But lets all Enjoy it....
Karen I can leave you some beers if you like, or your favourite tipple, for those hard earned supporters.
Morning lovelies!!! Sorry I've been AWOL over the weekend it was one of those and I didn't get a chance to get online I'm afraid....
HELLOOOOOO!!!! to all the runners who've said hi over the weekend - hugs for pud at having to defer, but much better to be safe than sorry and I reckon you'll have a storming race next year once the hurty hip thang is sorted.
Becks, absolutely no problem to mix up the drink for you, just make sure you leave it with instructions etc at the Expo and we can def take care of that for you.
Hugs hugs and more hugs will most certainly be the order of the day in Group 10 if people need them - I know I did last year and the one I got from Nam carried me through the next few miles
Have added everyone to our fabby spreadsheet, will hopefully be back later on again to touch base
Bluemoon what a fabulously kind offer, I think Gill and I are both partial to a wee bit of pink fizzy stuff if you did feel the urge............... although to be fair I'll drink anything in case you guys hadn't gathered that!! Lol
