I booked on-line and received confirmation etc. I think it is 365 days in advance (I remember seeing a message when I tried last week). I booked for Durham as it's not far away and cheaper. Chester le street was £199!
XL, I'm heading your way....mines a vodka and diet coke
Healing vibes to MTM,Must have been a terrible shock for you and the family.Best of luck with the treatment.Strong and keep smiling
Amassive well done to all the GNR runners,Great efforts all around.It was weird not being there this year but no doubt I will enter again in the future.
Jovi - just checked my e-mails for last year - the priority offer was sent to me on 25th Nov - just in time for Xmas payday!!
XL - enjoy the tapering!! (and count me in, of course, for the bar!!!!)
Cheers, Mandie. Glass of white wine for you, is it ?
Its a bit early, but go on........you've twisted my arm - Cheers!!
Bit early ?
3pm is OK for a pleasant summer afternoon glass of anti-oxidant, isn't it ?
What were they asking for the 3 year membership last year? Just wondered how it compares to three entry fees.
Thanks.
HolyMoly ... if it's any consolation I had problems finding the Waterline last week too ... and I'm a local who was there last year! Like you I was too near the water line (ironic) and couldn't spot it higher up next to the Law Courts. I ended up ringing Mandie's mobile asking her where it was, lol.
I can join my athletics club on 1st October and I am also entering Norwich Half-marathon so yes you got me hooked. Big thanks to everyone for the advice this year, this new "addiction" has kept me fit and I love it, met some great people and no matter what standard everyone is supportive of each other. My wife even likes to come along to my races and practice her new hobby photography so at long last something we can both enjoy.
Mick - Best of luck on Friday, really puts stuff into perspective. Keep us all posted (if you obviously want to share)
Well, think my legs are just above fully recovered now. Still can't believe I got a PB on Sunday, now I am feeling really motivated to try and get a 5k and 10k PB in 2011.
Back to the grindstone for me and the marathon training tonight. 14 mile easy run home (though it was pretty windy at times so not as easy as I'd have liked!)
CC2, clearly the best time amongst my friends, great running that and well done to everyone who took part
Stephen - loving your 70s inspired look. I bet you can get a 118 style vest on ebay, and the shorts are quite easy to get I think. Although on ebay they tend to market them as some sort of gay clubbing apparel. Viga sports used to do some seriously scary retro ladies running kit, they must surely do mens too. Have a laugh at these ladies 'briefs' for a start http://www.viga.co.uk/products.asp?catid=17128&cat_name=LYCRA-Briefs.
Why on earth would you not wear make-up to a half marathon if that's your thing? It puts some in a better frame of mind, and it's not like it slows you down. Whatever cheers you up and makes you feel good about yourself (speaking as a person who likes to put a bit of slap on before leaving the house ... I'm fairly certain I wouldn't be posting better times if only I'd stepped away from the eyeliner - plus I wouldn't have looked half as good on my marathon photos
)
For what it's worth, whilst I was spectating on Sunday, I saw a few of the women's elites fly past - in full make-up.
Morning everyone - hope everyone's aches and pains have subsided now.
