Of course, me, Stevie and Matt go back a long way...
More like "The last will be first and the first will be last". So that's me all set to come ~470th...
The age old question, but are you meeting up / "wearing ribbons" (!) etc ??
PS Any news DB ?
I'll be the one hanging around Welsh Poppy (and also probably arguing at the reg tent to get my number)
Poppy - 9am - don't be late!
Just about to join a gym for some long runs on the machine, I know I know but its a case of run on the treadmill or not at all due to weather,
However never say never.
I am never late see you 9am make sure you have all your kit!!
I shall wear a purple ribbon very tastful one I should add

I did 14 miles this morning in the woods that were flooded it was so dark I did not know and I was running 6 miles in 1.5 ft streams of water the river bank had burst I was sopping my feet wet then I lost my balance and fell in and the prom was flooded the rain was hammering down I was freezing cold and very very very wet.I had to soak in bath for 30 mins to get warm!!!
So stop being a wuss I am smaller than you and I still go out running on bad weather days!!!
HOpefully someone will think of a meeting place before hand not sure maybe phil or George will have an idea or FA

Any of you guys got any training in health and safety and could get Poppy to follow some of the procedures for planning her runs?!
I'm now very anxious about the drive to find mm and where to park. Can I be cheeky and ask if greeny and wp are going past junction 45, and could give me a lift please? I'm heading down to the caravan tomorrow lunch time.
if you mail me I can let you have my mobile number and we can arrange to meet
Parking is ok as long as no bloody horse riders decide to use the lane, I am taking my light sabre this year, and will smite all horses with the power of the dark side.
[guess who wants the star wars dvd for xmas?]
Chest feeling better by the hour, and not out ona session tomorrow night, so may have a clear head for this one for a change!
Poppy, that run sounds like a right laugh, I usually jump in the floods at mm when they get over knee hieght.Breaking the ice is fun as well!!
I am right in thinking this is an 11.30 start aren't I? I'll be hanging around the reg tent from 11 ish, I know Greenface I'll guess the rest of you. (You should be easy to spot - computer geek runner types).
Why are you all setting out at 9? My form says it starts at 11.30.
WHEN IS THE START? WHEN? COME ON TELL ME. WHAT TIME DOES IT BLOODY START?
11-30 is when i'm starting.
& now Dad's decided to do it too. Oh no - what if they beat me? Aaaargh! Humiliation!

That's it, I will put my bike at the back of the big dipper and ride it through the race !!!!!
By the reg tent then. Can we have a forum set question and answer we say to each other, like the spy's?! Maybe with the sand dune it could be -"do you find the sand gets inbetween your toes when running on these sand dunes" and the answer would be "only when the dragon ducks fly over the poppies" !!!!!
ps. there's a high tide this weekend so expect it to be very boggy especially around the sewage works / estuary area, and of course the stream
take care, and have fun !
DB
I am so disapointed you have your own number sure i cant tempt yuo to a nice number 15???????
