Times not the best but hey there is plenty of time left for a good one!
ooops - am hopeless at keeping track of threads. I'm still on track for my 12 in 2012.... done gloucester, seville and blackpool so far and have london for this month followed by...
May: Windermere
Jun: Great Wales (Tenby)
Jul: Enigma summer festival (nr Milton Keynes)
Augt: Thames meander
Sept: Farnham pilgrim
Oct: Leicester
Nov: Rutland
Dec: Lisbon (followed by a well-deserved holiday in the sun)
have managed to get progressively quicker with each marathon so far but have a feeling that'll come to an end when i hit the hills at Windermere.......though it could all go pear shaped at london seeing as my darling dog Lotti decided to chew both pairs of my shoes which i had nicely broken in for long distances - my new pair gave me blisters on a 21 mile run last weekend
Have promised my husband i will not run a single marathon next year so 13 in 13 looks unlikely for me right now
Portsmouth on the cards for me too.
not sure now who is doing this
Sue O i see you are doing it, well done on Brighton time, wish i'd have realised u were going i went to that too, i've not logged on here for ages as been so busy, I think VLM just took my time in the last 3 weeks but done that now ( now i'm looking for my next marathon!!! )
hope u had fun at shakey HannahsmomUK - how'd you go at london? sorry didn't get in touch in london - phone ran out of juice and Nig managed to pack the wrong charger so had no phone the whole weekend
.maybe catch up at windermere in a few weeks time......
Shakey marathon got cancelled today due to weather conditions, the Greenway apparently was ankle deep in water, they just did the half marathon but the decision was not announced to the majority of the runners until every had lined up in the pouring rain and some of them didnt hear it so some people thought they were running the marathon, which was a shame, Ulen was soaked, not good
he also didnt get a goody bag as they ran out and no medal either, not a good day really!!
Well today was a washout and agree not a good day at all, have to say it would have been tough going doing the full but when you have your mind set on doing it it's dissapointing not to be able to. The conditions were brutal at times with the head wind - hope ullen has dried out - i had a 4 hour journey back to Ipswich which just about topped the day off!!
I didn't do Brighton but am hoping to next year - how good a time did i get!!!!
2 weeks to Halstead but have a niggly achillies which may throw me out of that one - oh well still on course with 5 done.
Hey everyone! I'm a bit late to the party but am also doing 12 in 2012!
how is everyone finding it so far?
Glad i stopped by as I am currently trying to find a local marathon for july and have a list of 9 just from reading thorugh the back posts.
Hope you're all having a good weekend!
Rob.

just incase that helps at all
where do u live Rob?
there is over the edge marathon, shropshire I think, sure someone will post the details about that
what have u done so far?
Sue O, weather conditions were terrible werent they for Shakey, think they left it too late to tell people tho just as they were starting? awful!!!
I have entered Brighton next year, did u get in the ballot today for VLM, i did but its closed now
Jo
Yes HM i agree they left it late but on reflection it was awful conditions and it was the right decision for me that they cancelled it. I saw the bit from Kent road runners but can't make that one due to work - shame though as it's not too far to travel for me.
I tried to enter for London last night but ballot closed and am thinking Brighton too pricy at nearly £60 - not that i'm mean but it's an expensive hobby this marathon lark!!!
Have gymed yesterday and today but no running as achillies too painful at the minute, will have to think long and hard about Halsted in 2 weeks time. Don't want to bugger myself up for the rest of the year. Have the chance to do a weekend double in mid June in Suffolk to get the numbers up - if anyone interested it is the Gt Barrow challenge, they also do a 4 in 4 days in Sept which i may be interested in - have to see how the year goes!
Where is Ullens next run??
