The 4 Villages is a great half but it fills up fast. You'll have to be quick if you haven't already got a place! See you there!
Redhead I waved and shouted as our paths crossed but you didn't notice.
Hi everyone
I'm new to this, just found the link when I was looking for photos from Sunday's Liverpool Marathon. Does anyonw know where all the photos are? I'm looking for some more of a friend, I've been on marathonfotos but they've still not uploaded any pics.
I was a volunteer for the day and I have to say I had the most amazing time handing out medals to all the wonderful people who took part. It was a great atmosphere and all the runners did extremely well and we're all so thankfu, giving me many kind words of thanks for helping out as a volunteer. I've really enjoyed looking through the photos myself and spotting people who I remember giving medals to and its just great as I feel like I was apart of their 26.2 mile journey.
I hold the memory of giving one of my best friends and an old school teacher her medal at the finish line, it was the icing on the cake for me and I am amazed it happened after I got moved to another station towards the end of the day. Shes my inspiration!
Congratulations to you all again who took part it was a brilliant day and one day I hope to maybe run it myself.

ooh there is a tunnel 10k I'd be up for doing that, when is that?
Redhead you are doing London??? I know scooby-dudek is also doing London as am I, is there anyone else off the list doing London?
I've also signed up for Bham half ( now great bham run as took over by bupa ) and Silverstone HM if anyone is doing any of these events it would be great to know to organise meeting up ( perhaps not by a first aid tent!!! )
How tall is Beer & Lard!!!!! how could i miss him at the start Dam that first aid tent not being there!!!
Afraid not mate I didn't have it in me. Barely fineshed.
been told about helsby half the other day and might be up for it depends in cash next few months. Helsby half. Looks like Manchester marathon might clash with tother stuff but still very interested in it if I can get a permition to play. Otherwise races planning on are grizzly, Worksop, Clowne,Liverpool, Sheffield, Buxton & Eyam half's, a couple of marathons not sure which ones yet and some of the normal fell and tri stuff as well.
Edit: ouch - they're fifty quid - but there are a lot them.
I stand corrected.
I was told many years ago that Birkenhead was the largest town in the UK. It may have been a fact at one time, but I'm not that much of an anorak to find out!!
2 recovery runs completed. Now time to find my next challenge. I'm the type that needs to enter a race to give me inspiration to get out and run.
I've done 4 villages 4 times, it's a great race. I'm looking at 2 of possibly Barcelona half, Liverpool half, Prague half or Shakespeare half.
Will definitely be at Liverpool marathon next year, but don't know wether to run, spectate or volunteer.
I've enjoyed reading everyone's comments on here, it's been some journey! Good luck to everyone. Hope all your running experiences are good ones. xx
Cybarev, you need to click on the ltitle magnifying glass under the picture, that will bring up a massive preview (I do love that marathonfoto does that, as opposed to marathon-photos)!
They're definitely starting to trickle in. I had one picture up 2 hours ago and now about 6. They caught my angry walk though! Damn, I was hoping the photographer would have the sense not to click his button after my evil eye
I think I'm going to do Barcelona in the spring, and really think I want to come back for Liverpool, despite my earlier feelings. Can't decide upon spectating, volunteering, or running it just to prove I can keep a smile on my face!
Half-wise, I think my plans include Tunbridge Wells, Windsor, and maybe Bath. Have entered the lottery for the Olympic park 5-miler (don't care about time, just experience, particularly as it would be 6 days post-Barcelona).
Am about to head out for a quick run, wearing my pretty blue Liverpool technical top
The photos are now appearing on marathonfotos, but there are lots of others around the internet already, including the facebook page Daniel has set up.
cybarev - you need to click on the little magnifying glass at the bottom of the photo and you'll see a larger version. Unfortunately the photos of me at the finish aren't great - as ever in race photos I always seem to be pulling a face at just the wrong moment - but there are some good ones from around the course.
Now that I can see them in their glory, after looking at the state of desperation in my eyes I can safely say I will not be buying them!
and they're in.
I'm only 4 foot 11 inches tall. A very tall 4 foot 11 though
.
Saw the pictures - then gulped at the price. Wanted a finish line picture - hence touching the clock but not paying that much - will use those taken but Mrs B&L once i'd got my medal.
I'm actually 6ft 7 ish
hahahaha Beer and Lard that is the BEST EVER FINISH photo I have ever seen, i'm rofl It is just brilliant, so wish i'd have seen you at the start to shout you on, I saw Geoff twice if you were running with him, then i would have realised to look for a tall geezer lol
Jay Snizzel, glad u posted ur picture up, as i shouted you, i remembering shouting Jay, again it would have been at Mile 15, cos i stood there for ages ( a good 2 hours i reckon )
how do u do photos do u just post the http address and it does them???
Hm Click the image insert, and just paste the URL.
next year there should be a festival of running may5-6th, 5k & team challenge on Saturday, separate 10k men & women on the Sunday... All at everyone's favourite place - sefton park.
Tunnel 10k no date yet, probably guess around June 3rd or 10th
Morning all,
Hope you have all had chance to look at the photos now. They are definately not flattering.
B+L your finish line one is brilliant. If I didn't have a complex about my height before, I certainly developed one standing next to you before the race. It was good to put a face to the name.
The only person I was disappointed at meeting was Cake as it shattered my illusion that the bloke from shameless was running marathons.
Can't say I'll be parting with any of my hard earned cash for any of the pics, I don't want to remember the day as torturous.
FRC that one of us at the start is ok, its nice to see a smile on our faces. It was soon wiped off once the race got going.
Hannahsmom thank you for cheering me on. It was the support that made this such a wonderful occasion. I couldn't have done it without it. (-:Hannahsmom, yep, I'll be at London. Possibly for the last time as I want to concentrate on other marathons (but I have said that before!).
B&L, that is a fantastic finish photo.
The weather is glorious down here today and I'm going over the hills and far away at lunchtime
Is anyone treating themselves to some piccies?
I am really pleased with mine (most of them), but I really don't think I can justify the expense! Plus....the postage is £6 too! Works out a lot of money.
Technophobe here,
How do you save the images? Right clicking won't work.
I Know everyone on here has said about the price of the pictures, but come on guys your not just buying pictures your buying memories
and you cant really put a price on that!
Everyone come and join the fun on the runliverpool marathon 2012 forum
How do you save the images, the right click won't work?
You can't save the images, it's takes a bit of screen capturing magic.
I might buy one, depending on what else comes through of me (my page currently says at 51% processing). I do like the background image for the four-picture montage, but I currently don't have four decent pictures!
