Not sure I'm ready for a 10K just yet - I shall plan my assalt next year so will be looking out for good races from maybe March onwards.
Well done Lisa - I hope you make FLM.
I assume a lot of the photos were for the Surrey Comet - buy it Thursday, I'm not sure if they have a web site, I'll need to check.
Well my diary now is:
Blenheim 10k 17th Oct,
Ogmore training weekend in the dunes over the 23rd,
Looks like Snowdon Marathon on the 31st,
Stevenage Marathon on 7th November,
Luton Marathon on the 4th Dec.
(You seem to be taking a few weekends off in November?!!!!)
The Cabbage is nice a flat Fozzy. 'Only' 10 miles......I'll be doing a very slow and leisurely 9 or 10 later in the day.
Good Luck.

Legs nearly back to non-aching now - quite surprised by recovery rate (not tried another run yet though).
Next race is Venice Marathon a week on Sunday. Planning to take that nice and easy.
Only just made it on here!
Well done everyone! though didn't manage to see anyone at woolies either!
Had a good time - surprised as it was only second marathon i've run (first was London this yr) and thought it was great, apart from wind & lack of energy drinks.
I managed 3.47 according to the site, though I timed it at 3.46.30 which I was so chuffed with .... until I found out if I'd run in 3.45 or less I'd have qualified for FLM or something!!!! Still all good, not sure about Luton but def plan to be at FLM next year anyway!
Venice was originally planned as a backup for this in case of bad weather and a nice half-term trip with the kids. Should be ace.
Will have to see about pacing. With previous marathons, I've still felt very heavy after 2 weeks, but we'll see. Only real aim is to make sure I beat my mate Simon, whose current best is just under 4 hours. I might take a camera along with me to a) take an interesting photo diary of the race and b) annoy him.
Toomuchapplepie, why dont you get dressed up for it aswell to rub it in! I did 4h as Tinkabell at London this year, it is fun not to take a marathon too seriously every now and then.
Why have they not put photos up like they promised! Grrrr

After a little analysis (I like that sort of thing) if I had kept my average pace of the first 20 miles up over the last 6 I would have been very close to 3:15, so just shows how bad those last 6 miles were.
Thinking of Hayling Island 10 miles in November as next race.
roll on FLM
Great reading all your race reports, its fascinating watching people post about their training and then seeing the end results., well done to all of you
I need to find a Surrey Comet now then methinks.
Could have sworn they weren't going to do that this year.
For some reason they haven't printed any photos of me and my glorious dash to the finish line!
Not sure why there are more photos of me than anyone else - I appear to have 11 and none show me in too much pain, what a relief.
Very pleased to see I was smiling - tho I can't remember being that happy. Agree with you PM, I'll have a couple (as I'm glad they go to the trouble to take them)but will settle for screen capturing the rest. Rob - they took so many of you coz they probably thought you looked rich....

If I order a print it's far more expensive for them to produce and I can scan it in, and even buy a new scanner for about the same price. How bizarre.
Good pictures though.
