will you be there for me ???
??
Fit...er, as I'll ever be. Raring to go...umm, to get it over with yes!
Just seen that the BBC finally has a "London Marathon 2005" section on its Sport website. Guess that means we can all turn up on Sunday then!
Still got the feeling things are almost going too well though - giving anyone coughing and spluttering on trains and tubes a look of abject horror!!
Looking forward to meeting the supporters at Mudchute - I know it will keep me going for the couple of miles beforehand.
I'll be working on one of the Sweatshop stands at the marathon expo from late Thursday morning to Friday evening. Any Team 8-ers come and say hello.
Hope everyone else is in fine fettle - if you aren't, give it a few days of rest and fuelling and you'll be raring to go!
I think that once you've been and registered at the expo (which is a good atmosphere in itself) it will really sink in and the countdown really begins.
Bags packed yet?
Are you allocated to our team?
Just let us know :
1. YOur number
2. What you look like ( for the other supporters.- I should remember you even without my beer glasses)
3. What time you're expecting.
4. Anything special you'd like us to provide...
Goodluck.
(sorry Natnif)
( Appologies if AJH or SamPanther have already collected them).
Martin J.Think you're right about it sinking in when you've been to the expo. Going tomorrow then 3 easy (hopefully) relaxing days before the race.
Good luck all with the taper and look forward to seeing the supporters at 18 miles.
Could you let me know:
what time you're expecting
your number
what you look like?
I believe we have you down as wanting a Banana?
Best of luck everyone...
Clearly I am in the presence of gr8ness! coz I am definately going to open that champagne languishing in the fridge if I break the magic 6hr mark. You are all welcome to come back to our place in Staplehurst, but I think you'll all be in the Thistle bar when I am having my chip cut off. Hope everyone gets the wonderful time they want.
I will look like a lop sided table at a jumble sale - proudly wearing the Cancer Research electric blue vest, have dyed my hair grey and you can tell my pedigree: 52120 in Red. Sadly I don't expect to reach the Mudchute party much before before 1.30pm... so please please take pity on me and leave a banana, 2 paracetomol & directions to the finish LOL.
Going to Expo on Thursday lunchtime for pasta and will visit Cancer Research of course. Can't wait...love to you all xxx
just in case :

Kev, the party will only just be getting started by then :-)
Bananas all round it seems - I'll keep the jellybabies for myself then :-)
lp don't eat all the jelly babies lisa wants some too and she's probably going to be one of your last runners.
Just had some news from RW towers via Meerkat.
<Snipped from Sean Fishpool's mail>
And finally: of course you can drop things off at the stand. Would you like
to keep anything else there - maybe a message book divided into pages for
each support group, for people to say hello to each other, for instance?
Just a thought...
</Snipped>
So if you have anything you want to drop off and have us pass back to you, just look for the RW stand.- I think it makes sense to label it up with your number and team number.
To all who are supporting us - a huge thank you!!!! It will be great to hear your cheers at mile 17! I'm hoping you can spur me on to beat 3:30.
</Note>
We'll try :-)
I have given my details before, I think but here they are
Number - 11254
Time @mile 17 - approx 2:30
Am running for MSRC and will be wearing a green MS vest with my name on over a dark blue t shirt
