Only crocs in our house are bright pink and waaaayyyyy too small for me!
One solution on wet weather is to wear a different pair of trainers with the insoles removed - makes them more roomy and it's quite comfy as long as with a clean pair of socks.
Am I rambling yet???
And a quick reminder from Nagger in Chief (Mk 2) for this enterprise that if you are leaving stuff at the RW stand at the Expo please mark RW as well as all the name/number info as we don't want it mixed up with the Fetchies who also leave their stuff there.
As you were
Oops - too late
Mind you I did deliver my stuff directly into SBH's own fair hands and the Fetchies won't know me as I don't do Fetch (too cuddly for me, I prefer the dark side
)
My new race strategy is Mile 17 by 4 hours and then do the rest in 1:45 hours to get 5:45. 7:45 might be more realistic given my heinous training on the dreadmill and the 10 stone I put on this week tapering.
Still, am psyched for the rain, makes me run faster.
Lovely morning, can we have another one like this on Sunday please Michale Fish?
RZR I'll check with running rodent as she did a pick up before I did yesterday but am sure it'll be fine, the RW crew at the expo are pretty good at trying to make sure we all get the right stuff x

I should be easily enough spotted with my headwear and hope to hear a really big cheer! Good luck to everyone!
If you have saved me food I'll pay on my way past on Sunday!!
Sorry I also forgot to leave a nuun tablet for a bottle of water at mile 17......damm...........
SBH/Gilly, could one (or both) of you PM me a mobile number please so I can track you down post-race in case you're not in Chandos.
Hi all
Cant believe its nearly here!!!!
Just got work to get through today then pack tonight and will be on the train first thing tomorrow morning
Hopefully will have got number and dropped stuff off about lunchtime tomorrow.
Not sure what plans are after the race but where is Chandos??
Rob, No worries, I was going to pick up some tomorrow. Is there a flavour you like?
Great pic Badbark, can you also let us know a time to 17.
RZR, I was wondering if you were a speedy one!
If anybody is signing off, early remember you need to look for us as well. So look for Water station as 17 move over to the right, as we will be directly after that on the right hand side. The RW stand will be covered in blue and yellow balloons. As we are Group 1 we are the first on the barrier so please dont overshoot us, . We will have a giant Pink Number 1 Hellium ballon. If you get to the Zebra Crossing after the water station and you haven't spotted us you have gone too far!
morning all - not at work today - looking after 4 small children (not all mine!) instead so time is slipping past a little more easily!
Claire - the chandos is just off trafalgar square - top right hand corner just past st martin in the fields. it's on a corner at the bottom of st martins lane i think?
weather in blackheath this morning is...... FAB! sunny but cool. some black clouds but no rain yet.....
Thanks Gladrags I will try find you all.
Thanks for the info, I will just get it in my brain to stop at mile 17 water station so I wont miss you all.
Not sure if I will get the chance to get back on here much today, so if I dont.... I will see you all on Sunday
Fame at last!
