I've only been a thread 'reader' for my last few events and thought it's about time I joined up so that I could post as well.
Can someone confirm that there will definitely be a medal for this one?
I have absoloutley no chance of ever getting a position medal, I'm happy coming in the top 50% in a marathon, so count on an entry medal to hang on my bookshelf.
Cheers.
Cinders, I put off joining the Thanet Roadrunners for ages and I now really wish I hadn't put it off, it was the best thing I ever did. Hope to see you out on a club run sometime.

Cheers.
The last two years shirts have been great.
Welcome to all the new forumites who are joingin us. Its great to see new faces and it will also help to build up the momentum and interest in the event. The more of us that post the more others will join and therefore the less any of may have to spend alone.
It also helps to have others to talk to pre and post race and to relive the experiance (after all our families are probably already sick of the sound of us going on about our training high's and lows... or is it just mine?
match my complexion
So I'm in.
Pink is very trendy . . .
i vote for yellow
A towel would also be nice for those nice long runs.
You're not seriously suggesting we RUN 26 miles, are you?
Much handier for storage for long races than belts, and less bouncing about and rubbing. In fact I can't think of any reason why they wouldn't work for runners. Any ideas?
Have you emailed vouchers@thanetroadrunners.org.uk?
If you haven't do that first off. If you haven't heard anything by this weekend email me and I'll look into it

Ronnie . . grateful and relieved though I am to learn that you weren't staring at my rear end during the Halstead Marathon . . I wear these on my long runs and races . .
I still use a belt to carry gels but I use the pockets for my car key, a pair of gloves, a small tin of vaseline and to carry the empty gel packets . .
they're really useful and comfy too . . and the colours are much more cheerful than the dull grey/blue/black shorts that seem to be almost universal in the UK . . bit of a nuisance having to import them from the States (and I got stung for duty too) is the only downside . .
djb . . thanks for the suggestion about how I could get shots of the start and the two finishes . . however I'm going to be a little pre-occupied as I'm running the marathon!! I'll carry my camera with me as always (unless it's pouring) and take photo's before and during the race . . afterwards depends on how I feel . .
so . . Pantman . . if you're doing the half . . you'll be finished long before me as I'm doing the full . . therefore I'll not be able to photograph you as you finish . . but if I see you before the start then I'll record the moment!!
that's what I meant in my post last week!!
thanks Ronnie . . I wondered how long it would be before somebody noticed that remark and you didn't let me down . .
and I have to say the shorts haven't to date either . .
