If there's anyone in two minds about whether to enter next year, check this vid -

Warning - may cause spontaneous outpourings of emotion

Ha ha ha - fb will be happy, it has his two fave cheerleaders in it!

I bet the girl pulling her knickers out of her bum is really happy that they included that clip!

Tens of thousands of extra people wanting to run will either mean a very crowded race or make it hard to get a place.

True.....

 Oh Blimey..... Imagine if having supported the first one we couldn't get a place for the second..... That would be a bitter pill to swallow

"Ha ha ha - fb will be happy, it has his two fave cheerleaders in it!"

not the best shot of them though - I was hoping for a better view of those puppies again....

Did they have puppies with them then? I didn't see that, I was too busy looking at thier tits

And not have to climb four flights of stairs after you've finished to get out of the finish area!

Recycling my final instruction booklet this morning I saw that  there was a whole page devoted to ways out of madeira drive that don't involve stairs. I wish I'd read it properly before Sunday!

Looks like it's going to be 10th Apri next year (again, the week prior to London) but with a bigger field:

Fingers crossed that they got my email deferring this year's place.  I'll have to keep checking my inbox!

I'm half thinking of applying for London, but the other half of me is thinking "sod that, I LOVE BRIGHTON, so why would I want to betray my beautiful city and the wonderful support of all the spectators and the hard work of Tim Hutchings etc, just to go for the obvious choice"... But a bit of me says "well if you're going to run marathons, then you really ought to do THE BIG ONE once"....

I don't know.... what do you think? have any of you seasoned pro's got any pearls of wisdom on the subject? Someone told me "if you loved brighton then you'll REALLY love London" is that true? is it really another notch better still? I'd like to think not. I'd like to think the novelty and excitement of Sunday made it as good as London

I think you should do the big one, then return to Brighton in 2012.  London *is* fantastic but like you, last Sunday made me very proud of my home city.  Luckily, I ran London a decade ago so don't feel the urge to do it again.  

I can't run 2011 (wife is expecting our third) but I'll be back for 2012.

No nor do I, but the boss sees it differently.

Why don't you run it pushing a pram?

That would get you in the papers!!

And think how proud you'll be and how the crowds will swoon as you cross the line with your newborn...

See, where there's a will there's a way. No good making excuses like that

And what better way to introduce your newborn into the joys of marathon running? This could lead to you having an Olympic & World Champion Marathon Runner!

I've just done some basic maths on this, the Marathon was three days ago and we know that next year it's a week ahead, so either you're planning one night of passion to lead to your being grounded, or you're already 3rd time around expectant parents, in which case baby three will be at least three months old and will absolutely love accompanying M&D along the seafront and cheering the old man on!!

I would like to Just clarify that it's Simster's wife who is expecting a third child and not mine

 The way the quote's worked out in PP message made it look like my wife was expecting a third

Nearly gave me a heart attack

With a third on the way I'm sure there are lots of things you wish you'd done differently.

I'm finding it hard to argue with you.  lol

I've emailed info@brightonmarathon.co.uk with the suggestion that they give this years' entrants advance notice of 2011 out of loyalty/decency/good old British fairplay etc.

 Might I suggest a similar ploy by those on here with a vested interest?

Just watched the youtube vidoe from 2 pages ago.................you're in it Tracy B !

Made me sob again

The Green Fairy

TRACYB !!!!!!!!!!!   Surely you aren't considering running next year after all effort I went to make you finish this year therefore putting you off entering next year so that you would be able to provide me with support at the now infamous 18.5 mark???

Love you really

[Deleted User]

Glad to hear you're all recovering well.  I'm still not able to run and doped up on pain killers.  Seeing the consultant on Monday then having the MRI so fingers crossed I'll have some good news soon. as getting a bit fed up of not being able to do anything.  This really can't last forever!?!
