Well done on your 22 miler, BP, and good luck for York. Enjoy the taper.
I didn't get into VLM either ... I'm so pleased I was lucky enough to have experienced it in 2011 and would love for the chance to do it again but I'm not too disappointed.
One thing's for sure, I will NOT be doing the '(almost) Marathon of the North' again.
I just have to decide now whether to pay the early bird entry for Manchester, which finishes tonight, with the possibility that I might not be able to run it :S
As far as the VLM is concerned you also have to remember that clubs associated to UK athletics get a number of places, my club usually get 3 places based upon the number of first claim members. With over 1000 clubs in England alone that is quite a few places.
Shielsy - rumours around Sunderland are that the MON will only be a half in 2014.
Stringy - yes well thanks - less than 3 weeks to go to York marathon now so in that period of just wanting to get to start. Life good with you now you much closer to home?

Rejected again!
Decisions now. Shall I go for a different Spring marathon or book an Autumn one?
Or not at all and stick to shorter distances?
Last long run before York Marathon (22 miles really slowly) - now for taper time.

10 miles for me today in lovely sunshine.
Shielsy - come and do Manchester.....
Shielsy - Manchester is good - too soon in April for me this year so will not be there.

Vixx - it is only £5 cheaper isnt it might be worth waiting.
True, but with the amount of races I enter, £5 goes toward another race :S
Fair comment - i forgot about you seasoned runners and the races you enter
Replace the word 'seasoned' with 'silly' and that's more like it....
Would do but if I am thinking of moving up to Ultras and attempting the Wall what would that make me
Sensible (because you are only thinking about it at this point)
If you were to put that to Margie she would say I never just think about something once I have got to that stage it will happen!!
Yay!
