Thanks for the congrats Roy!
I couldn't get photo site to work either.
As a side topic, I don't know whether any og you on this thread have met Mick & Phil ("Marathon Lads"). Mick runs a huge number of races round the country with with his son, Phil, who has cerebal(?) palsy (please excuse spelling!). And I tell you, he doesn't half shift round the courses!! Anyway, Phil's wheelchair is knackered and a number of RW forumites have started a thread to raise money to get a new light-weight racing chair...

Raised over £1200 since last night, so far!
Feeling much better today after a cold bath and a good night's sleep though. Rest today, then plan to be up early tomorrow for an easy 5-6km before work.

6'5" 18st 10k = 57m 20 sec.
Mine would read :-

Scooby-thanks for the info,I,ll pop over to their website and make a donation.
San - who do you work for at the airport? - I used to work for Customs - was there 15 years up til 1999. And I'm always running through Swinton - saw the tail-end of a half marathon whilst I was out for my run on Sunday morning - might do it next year seeing as the GNR is in October.
Alisonclair - did you put your name down for the Great2run course at the exhibition thingy - I did and have not heard anything from them as yet?
When I wear my heart monitor it sits underneath the elastic of my bra. I also wear a tight-ish vest with inside support.
When I run for more than 40mins or so I feel like I've been punched in between the ribs, and I think it's where the heart monitor is pushed against the bones. I can't have my bra any looser or I'll be all over the place!!
Anyone else have this problem or a solution?
Alison
I havent done antything since pretending to go to college 12 years ago!
I am quite looking forward to it now, seems a few others on here are doing it aswell so we can all help each other eh!
Will be emailing you for the answers every week! xx
You would think, seeing as their business is based on website sales, that they would have an efficient website.
They must be losing £1000s in lost revenue through people just giving up on them.
Anyway, rant over. Hope everyone is fit and well after the run and looking forward to their next event.
Guide Dogs already sent me a thank you letter and a certificate so now I feel really bad that I only raised £350 for them - and that includes sponsoring myself (sad I know).
anyone else shattered today, or is it just me?? Wednesdays are hard work.
All you get now for completing the run is the invitation to join the GNR Club, this cost £30 last year. This will then guarantee your place for the next 3 years, but you still have to pay your entry fee in addition to the membership fee.
