You must have been just behind me Jill I finished in around 1:01:05 I think but my Garmin said 60:34. Am very happy as that is a pb by 4 mins for me too!!!
It was great to see you both I did look for you after but couldnt see you anywhere!! But heres to the Banquetting House on Sunday!!
Bring on Sunday now!!!
Lindsay - Octopus has done a good job for you, you look fantastic!
Only 4 days 16 mins 44 secs to go .......
Be even more real after the expo on Thursday! Last day in work tomorrow!
been without a computer for three weeks since kids crashed it (bless em)
been reading through all the posts made me realise how much i missed all the support and camaradrie
feel sluggish,heavy legged, nervous,excited
worried that i haven't done enough training,even getting phantom leg pains but that said cant wait till sunday
4 days...............
Huge irony - I was preparing our school for a Health and Safety inspection (!) yesterday when I slipped off a step and turned my ankle. I currently have a niggle in my left calf which I'm sure will be fine, but in the final week is the last thing I wanted.
Rest, rest and more rest I think.
............ is anyone there?
.............. you've all gone very quiet
............. resting for the big day?
......... only 3 days 21 mins 10 secs to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got all my Gels for the day, just need to stock up on Jelly beans and Jelly babies.
Good luck to you all and hopefully we may meet some of you on the day.
Mr G, See you on sat at the Derby Runner. Dont forget your number.
We are in the same hotel.
Speak to Caterina about the tickets see did this last year.I am sure you get all the tickets from down there.
Take it easy this week- I went out on tuesday and ended up doing 1hr 45 after misplanning a route on my hols in cornwall -hobbling again!
Have picked up my number and got my name put on my shirt (be precise with the printers they are a bit dozy). there are pace bands available at the lucozade stand and the sports massage people are worth the money. Be prepared to have me gabbling at you with nerves at the start if I see you, or hope to see people at the lunch. T
Also had a word with Caro and she has said she will try to ensure that I get to run as Little Miss Naughty next year!!!
Have to start training with the weights next week!! lol
New Focus!
Queued for 50 minutes to sort out name on t-shirt to be told it was a further 2 hour wait to collect! So abandoned that as had to collect rascals from school-now armed with felt-tips and a spare t-shirt should they end up writing 'mummy'-on it !!
As im running on my own(forgetting 30,000 others) is there anyone starting in red pen number 7(feel like livestock!)would be lovely to meet a friendly face. Im number 36676
May not see anyone at lunch after as will be with an army of kids so really really good luck to everyone.. will you all stay in touch afterwards??
PS-Octopus thanks for being a techy star-scary silhouette man was starting to spook me a little
You wont miss me in my tutu and covered in Mr Men!
number 52671 and Rio on my top in big black foam letters!
I hope I can live up to my promotion!!!
Really enjoying my taper week, eating and sleeping lots. Went out for a slow 4 miles last night and felt so tierd.
What's the weather going to be like?
Do you have to raise same amount every year?-having written to every one i know this year and dont think that they would sponsor me again !!
how early do you get in the pen?? I'm planning on queueing for the loos until the final moment!
the first year i managed to raise about £2300 last year was £3800 and this year will be back to around £2000.
People will sponsor you again but I havent been too pushy this year
Weather forecast isn't looking too bad.
Off to do so some study before packing and a hot tub!!
They never put any pressure on you to raise anything specific though which is why they are such a terrific charity to run for!
Still have no clue on weather...
Rather late to be joining a new forum I know but I thought you looked like a friendly bunch so what the heck !
I'm running for CWL for the second year in a row and aiming for sub 3:15 with a bit of luck. I've raised around £1500 but with gift aid that should add up to a couple of grand or so.
I hope the race goes well for you all and we get the weather we deserve after the months of training we've gone through ! Best of luck to all and see you at the start.
By the way, I'll be looking the way I do on my avatar but a touch fresher hopefully (number 1129) !!

Let's all really encourage each other on the way around - watch out for those Mr Men vests!
