As its the only one Ive done or am doing its difficult to put the time in context. As i said before the race I might enjoy looking back at it. (in about 100 years time)
Well said!
I did not manage to finish on Sunday, but it did not ruin my enjoyment of the day and the race. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Knock half an hour off at least. You know you want that sub 3:15.....
Please come and join us at Abingdon later in the year :-)

You remind me of me
As for Lewis well,
As he well knows, he's pulled me through a painful 6 months,
That's more than i can say for my own son
you may well have seen Tia at the finish
She was with Mrs Mick
Ok Lewis , My old pal
Time you set about next years Blackpool marathon preperation isn't it
Mean while i'm going to have a coffee
and a sulk
At least you finished i assume Jemma, more than us !!
If someone had died on Sunday........insufficient water........."res ipsa loquitur" ........
throughout my pre and post race comments, I've given the race team a lot of praise and no personal criticism but I feel I have a right to say what I felt was wrong and no defence team, however well intentioned they are, will stop me.
Well you can try I suppose.
Shall we start with the koine greek?
hös de epemenon erötöntes auton, anekupsen kai eipen autois, Ho anamartëtos humön prötos ep' autën baletö lithon
But the same principle should not apply to running in the Blackpool Marathon.
Leave me out of this, you are all far too clever for me:-P
needs to feel that as a 10 YEAR OLD, volunteering is worth it. At the moment, he's still hurting at seeing the people he adores being slated. Incidentally, my son met Mick n Phil at the Pasta Party and, like me, thinks they are the real hero's here. No complaints.
Just getting on with the life they've been given.
Big up to my wonderful son, just one of the funnel runners on the day.
Action speaks louder than words. Is there a useful way for me to help towards next years marathon?
Not sure what and if I could run as well, but I would love to do something!
