None in Swansea, but it is bloody freezing out. I am really hoping for milder weather, but not as hot as last year.
Hey, sorry about that TW. I have been following the thread but thought that someone who had done the 5 may reply. From what I can gather the 5 is the last 5 of the main run. I would call it flat-ish. As much as I know, but a shame you can't partake now.
Views are still nice though - just white instead of green and brown!
Lucky all of you who are able to go through the suffering, and Good Luck
I have a cold which has just broken out. Will have to look after myself this week to make sure it doesn't get worse.
Is it cos I am only doing the 5?
Hmmm......
Going up on my own I think. Haven't a clue where I am going and think I might wimp out after a weekend of travelling around France to do a half (it was great, but I never want to have to travel again!).
Fingers crossed someone from the club has dropped out and there is a place on the club bus!!!
Eeek - beginning to wish I was just a supporter for this one - oh well, I will just have to think of nice big drink at the end of it!!!
Sorry to hear so many people can't make it or are coming out in colds (WA look after yourself as I will NEED your company!!)
Think the smow may be my fault, was actually joking when I started the thread 'gails, heatwave or snow' whoops!! ;-)
I've got a photocopied leaflet also with a running number written on and I'm doing the 20 (with some trepidation). Do we have to register on the day and then pick up the running number. Come on you vets - enlighten us novices!
Unless I am dead, I will be there Caz, and I think I need your support too as it goes. Blowing nose furiously today but glad it has finally broken out and turned in to proper man-flu (aka mild runny nose). I think I have been harboring the virus for about 2 weeks. Now it has broken out I have a good chance getting better.
I would allow at least 90 minutes to get there as although its not that far mileage wise it's easy to get stuck behind slower moving vehicles and there are not that many passing places.
Was thinking about dropping out, but now that the physical pain and mental anguish from Sun has subsided, I'm wondering what all the fuss is about (until Sat that is ;-))
Good indeed Caz. My running was going well last week until Sun when I started to feel under the weather. Will have to have today off too and see if I can recover by Wed or Thur to do a bit of training.
I think any running done by Thurs, so long as it is not hammering yourself, should be fine.
RC-I'll tell our organiser 3 people then. I'll find out what time its leaving tomorrow night.
I have also developed Manflu. Had a day off work yesterday and on the mend. Just hope I can get it all out of my systme for Saturday.
After the weather in previous years snow was inevitable:)
Save yourself for mile 3 to mile 6.5 then there's nothing to worry about. Have a chat with us lot tomorrow night. Are you getting the coach?

looks like cold and windy
Not sure about the coach - think Tim is doing the 20 miler too (Bill is not allowed). Matt, do you know what time the coach leaves?
Weather report
I'm looking out at the 19 mile point. The 4 inches of snow we've just had has more or less gone. The route is clear. I'm happy to let you all know the what the weather is actually like here the day before and whether it tallies with what the forecast says.
I think Matt cleared up the numbers thing, but yes, you do pick them up on the day.
Am beginning to wish I'd trained for this again this year. Even though I can run it any time, the race does have a great atmosphere and I hope you all have a fantastic experience.
Do we know what sort of time the last ones in are expected???
(just so I know what time I'm looking at)
