Rich, your lovely cheery presence is entirely responsible for the fact that these are the only photos in existence of me running and smiling at the same time!
Thank you so much, and another big mwaaahh from me!
Sorry peeps, but have I missed something about Mick & Phil and the FLM?
If a bloke in a diving suit can take a week to do it (FFS!), then why not a bloke pushing a chair?
Mick - where do you live? I ask because I work for a large broadcasting corporation. I'm not on the reporting side, but if you wish I can ask around and see if there's any interest in the story.
Mick - I definitely think you should be allowed to race FLM.
And I totally understand why their continuing refusal make your blood boil.
But playing as a gambler, I reckon your best bet at getting into FLM is to hide the boiling blood - it'll be better for you and us to keep asking nicely and for you to keep running just as you are!
Getting cross might work but it probably won't and it might have a negative effect...
I am confident that I will see you racing London one day soon - and I am sad that it's not happened already.
ahhhhhhhh now I see.......on the group shot thingy!!
Its funny, but i thought I did feel someone groping me, but I was too concerned about not falling off the step and ruining Rich's photo! Thats why I am stood at such an odd angle....I was leaning into the grope you see!
To all the Rick Ks around the course - great photos, great website, thank you very much. Your greetings and happy smiles were very much appreciated on the way round. :-)
Very good photos, except the one of me at 3 miles I look like a zombie!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm looking forward to the rest.
The Wife, number 455 seems to have avoided your photographic skills so far. So she still has no photographic evidence yet of her running the marathon. lol..
once again . . many thanks to everyone . . from each of me
The Woodle . . 455 isn't on the list I was using and there are a small number of photos I've not used at all . . I've added her to my list now so watch this space!!
Mark Stewart - yes it was me: after a little bit of casting about I decided to run on and see what turned up later. In the end I made use of the bathroom of a kindly spectator in the town centre and you will no doubt be happy to know that my, er, dignity remained intact.

No promises, just an idea.
What do you think?

You guys are superb - 4:03 - MWAH!
I know you all mean well
But my wife and i have spent 18 + of the best years of our life nursing Phillip's every need
My wife is a broken sick woman through it all
The Social Services, well, there just about us unreal as you can imagine
So please pardon me if i have no sympathy for FLM rules and managment
But i assure you we will march on 50 plus races a year
Ok, what's next, oh yes...
Worksop half in 48 hours time
And am off to try and find out what he is on about!!!!!!!!!!
Its funny, but i thought I did feel someone groping me, but I was too concerned about not falling off the step and ruining Rich's photo! Thats why I am stood at such an odd angle....I was leaning into the grope you see!
chuckle!

She can touch mine any time !!!
Your greetings and happy smiles were very much appreciated on the way round. :-)

So time to add my thanks again. Looking foward to the next batch.
Have a great weekend Rich, you probably need the rest as you probably covered as many miles as we did last Sunday.
You are a star.
A PB & great photos to boot.
Your time & effort is much appreciated many thanks for making my day.

Cracking photies btw ... I almost look as if I'm in some kind of forward motion in some of them :-)
I don't have a single one of those, Snaps - EVER!
I've been told it's because I 'walk' all my marathons.
Am planning to learn how to 'run' then by the spring!!!!
