Thank you for all your kind and reassuring words
It doesn't seem so scary any more... I just got a bit overwhelmed as it's my first marathon and I'm not quite sure what to expect... Plus I'm that type who worries too much about imaginery problems 
Ultra Kaz,
I am am running Boddington Marathon in a couple of weeks so after that I will have a better idea of what time I might run on this race. It would be great to run with you but I will probably have to jog/walk.
What's a runner?
Thought i would stick my oar in,
Entered this yesterday after stumbling across the thread. I run the canal frequently - either joining at the bottom from Regents canal or at Picketts lock and running north or south. It is quite narrow in places, although i see they have kept the field to 350 places, so hopefully this should be ok.
Ive been off running since end of may when i got a dodgy blood result, 5 days before i was due to run the Comrades Ultra - however it meant a nice holiday in south africa
Just waiting to get further tests, and waiting for chest infection to clear before training again.
Looking forward to this - ill be on the bus to the start too!
Katiecom,
Really sorry to hear that you missed the Comrades, would it have been your first one? I did the down run in 2003, my favourite event out of 133 Marathon/Ultras.
Hiya,
My foot is much better now,i've been up to three runs a week and long run of 10k without any pain so, so far so good. Not a lot of time to train so i'm not totally sure i'll make it to the start line but i will give it a go and see how the training goes. I've decided not to follwo a structured plan but to to three runs a week and try and get a long run in each week and increase the distance steadily and hope for the best! Hopefully around 5hours...
Should i be worried that i havent heard anything from the organisers since i paid my money via this site? or will teh details from them come nearer the time?
@ vs4b,
I think all (?) of the important information is already on the website and arn't things going to be delt with during registration on the morning. Perfectly natural to worry, I do.
i was worrying too, havent seen my cheque cashed yet, i wouldent want to miss out as it sounds a good run, no one seems to answer the emails if you send to the site
Hello All,
Yesterday I sent an Email (via their site) to the 2ToGo organisers, wondering about stuff. I did get a reply today which I think is prompt and it does reassure me that all's well with the organisation of the race. Hope this helps.
ORB,
Gil will be driving up early and parking at Hackney.
Last year I stayed in the Docklands Travelodge and caught the race bus from Stratford but did not have sufficient breakfast and was hungry during the race so I expect I will go with Gil this time.
