Anyone else take Berroca? They seem to be like Amphetamines.

So was her phoo super-imposed afterwards ... the number is crossed out which usually means you've been given your T-shirt/goody bag.
Q:Why are pirates called pirates?
A: Because they "arr"!

Scott- sorry to disagree with HeOw- but I wouldn't get a massage this close to the race....
if you're going for a massage this close make sure very light - any deep muscle stuff could really screw things up for you.
Just adding my notes too ...

sorry non-marathon topic but I have to share this ... I've just been offered a job
Christmas temp at John Lewis ... woo hoo, officially not a stay-at-home mum for a few weeks
Their new TV ad is just the best ever
well done claire, drinks are on you on saturdqay night at the italian then, I'll have a glass of water pleaqse....
Briliant Claire! How old are your child(ren)?
I am getting paranoid I am getting a cold. I am shattered this evening and everyone seems to have one in Cheshire. A Mum from school was talking to me before and she said "Oh I am full of cold". I nearly ran in front of the Runcorn Bus to get out of her way. Is everyone else the same?
Hi all, I seem to have just about shifted my cold which appeared last Sunday thanks to lots and lots of vit C + Zinc (did the job a treat!). Work duties have found me in Brighton today, of all places, meaning two nights of hotel food and the temptation of a few beers!! and leaving me with a big drive back up north Friday. I've then got to go to Glasgow next Wednesday so hopefully I won't feel too bad.
Still feeling relativly calm but no doubt will get more nervous nearer the time, and the more posts I read on here. Still hoping for 4:15 and anything better will be a bonus. Hopefully I can beat the 4:30 I did at Manchester. Go slow and run slower and I should still be in the game come 20miles, so if anyone sees me running 8:30 m/miles at the start please have a word with me!!
Good luck everyone...only 2.5ish days to go....
I'm getting paranoid that I've got the eternal cough ... surely it cannot persist much longer!
Happy to say my cold is getting better ... Fingers crossed
anyone entering their kids in the mini marathon? will it be a mud bath in that race course?
Claire & Jason d. Timings? Loch Ness 2011 - 3.41. Paris 2012 - 3.49. (but had an accident late autumn that hindered by spring training). I have been training for 8.00 min miles but wether I can keep it going for 26.2? So, 3.30 is my target time!
Also, the more I taper, the more tired I seem to feel! Strange.
