Martin - well done. If you look back through this thread you will see I'm keeping a record of which forumites are going and where staying etc. with a view to us meeting up in NY. e-mail your details from this post if you want to be included
Did I say I was from Surrey ? The 15 miler was around the famous Ladybower, Derwent and Howden dams up in the Peak District. It was superb and would make a good route for an organised race. It could be called The Dambusters 16 !
NewRunner - Stay positive, Try and get something positive out of each run etc. You'll be there, you've got the determination.
Martin
Yeah man, do it if, Have a go !
Seaweed
Might try Joosters next.

O.K. Guys, how about getting together in New York ? Any suggestions. we could discuss ideas at Windsor but I suspect we will be too busy enjoying the day.
How about those of us arriving on the Thursday getting together in the morning and going to the Jarvitts Centre together ?
A for meeting in NY I think Old Bones should let us know the last arrival time for the last person and then we can all meet up together? I figure hotel lobby bar (any of them would do) Saturday afternoon?(I'm adding my thoughts as I'm not going to WIndsor!)
GNASHER - My turn to be inspiring. I KNOW that sometimes we have off days - thing to do is accept you had a bad run, put it behind you and think how great you'll feel after your next good run. Not long to go now - it'll be time to taper down in a few weeks so keep it up!!
NewRunner
Let us all know how you get on Tursday.

I guess we shall be arriving around midday and be in Manhatten around about 2.00pm so we might be pushing it for registration.
Getting together in New York ? I believe Oldbones is working on it.
Gnasher
Sometimes it just goes like that. Your long run this w/e could be altogether different again.
As I am one of the friday arrivals in NY I wouldn't want the meet to take place without us. I've rec'd some more info which I will look at shortly but I think SY3 will be the last arrivee as he leaves Heathrow @ 14.00 on the 1st Nov. We don't need to do fancy, as NR says, a lobby bar of the most convenient hotel would do.
Happy birthday for the weekend SY3 - how old?
Sorry to hold everyone up with the meet!! Yes I leave Heathrow on the Virgin flight at 2 (assuming no delays)and arrive at JFK at 16.40. It'll be very busy at JFK then, so assume clear the airport in an hour, then another hour to Manhattan - earliest I could meet realistically is 7.30 - 8pm. otherwise it'd have to be Saturday morning - if we're all doing the friendship run we could meet after that, or perhaps before - and even if we're not we could still meet after it to give everyone time to get up and out. I did try to get an earlier flight but alas all booked.
Will be going out at the weekend for a longie - will aim for 21 - 22 miles. I got hideous trots at about 16 - 17 last weekend, so will have to research loo stops and dose up on the Imodium.

I don't want to sound a wimp but isn't 4 miles a bit far the day before a marathon??
Looking at the projected times given on our spreadsheet, apart from the hares who will have dashed off into the distance, between 4 & 5 hours is going to packed with forumites. Perhaps we could do it as a 32 legged race!!!
As for the fun run - 4 is too far for me!I'll be resting!
OK - someone want to suggest a hotel for a 5pm (?) meeting on the Saturday?
I'm sure I read that they do start the women and men seperatly but then we all converge at some point...
The pasta party goes from 4.30 to 8.30 with the fireworks at 7.30. A couple of us are staying at the Mayflower Hotel which overlooks the Tavern on the Green where the party is held. As everyone will be converging in that area anyway at roughly the same time, what if the meet was at the Mayflower at 5ish?
Mayflower is fine by me.
Incidentally, who's planning on the friendship run? - I wasn't planning on doing it - don't want a silly last minute injury and besides it's a bit early!
Thanks for birthday wishes all!
SY3
Unless anyone comes up with a valid reason not to, shall we meet then at the Mayflower Hotel, Central Park, in the lobby at 5pm? I'll be the very knackered looking bloke with a silly grin on!!
Going anywhere special tonight SY3?
Where's cheeky monkey these days?
