Been pretty warm over there this week, low 20's, but lookin at this Sunday its 13 degress, hardly any wind and a bit drizzly, fingers crossed its the same on the 5 Novemebr, none of this 23 degress stuff it was last year, i'll cook!!
Off out for a 6 miler now - it is flippin' peeing it down in the chilterns. I will swim home.
El C
El C - We are travelling out with 2:09 and staying at Essex House. Which hotel are you at?
I'm staying at the Marriot Marquis which I think is a good omen because Marquis is a family name!
Knee seems to be feeling better - My physio is an absolute star. I've got my 4th appointment this week on Saturday and I managed to do 4 miles on the cross trainer without too much discomfort.
I was thinking about finding somebody with a similar injury on their right knee (mines on the left) and suggesting we team up and do it 3 legged ie combine the two dodgy legs to make one good leg? I think I could win it that way!!!! LOL
You can email me so we can pass on mobile numbers charlottefoster@hotmail.co.uk
PLUS is anybody from County Durham, Teesside or North Yorkshire who has a good story to tell about why they're running? If you are PLEASE give me an email and I can try and get you on BBC Radio Cleveland. Dizzy heights I know!
Mp3 users..you MUST repeat MUST get The Rocky Soundtrack..if you can get over laffing at it initially.It really gets you going.
Went to Cheshire Oaks today to buy some essential Nike wear for NY..really felt like I was on my way today
I too will be in New York on the Friday, probably picking up my number in the morning if I dont get it done the evening before. Which will depend on my flight time and getting to the hotel etc etc.
I am happy either way on getting the tickets. Mrs B suggestion on asking the hotel might save alot of hassel and also may mean we will get good seats too. So what shall we do? would Catherine be ok sorting out the tickets for us all? or Lynne? or should we arrange to get together Friday sometime for a quick coffee or tea, and sort out how many we need and which shows we would like and then one of us ask at their hotel??
let me know what you all think. My e-mail is andyandnic1@hotmail.com. I will e-mail you with this thread too.

I think we could be on the same flight (VS3?) as you + same hotel, so probably meet up on the transfer bus!
Been out for the last longish run before NYC was supposed to be a 13 mile club run but ended up at 16 miles cos the route master (me) got lost!
So 53 miles for the week, 3 more than planned down to 35 next week so the tapering madness begins. Five day holiday here now for EID, yarhoo!
Have a great weekend
El C great news about your wife. My friends sister is just undergoing her last ditch intesive chemo and stem cell harvest at the moment so your news is a great boost. Hope all goes well for you both.
Coronium - i will check invoice details and let you know re. flights. we will no doubt meet up.
Cheers, El C
The Rocky Soundtrack... err ROCKS! Todl ya ;-)
Da da da... there's no easy way out... da da...
I've only ran 11-12 mile this week upto today, need 5 tonight, 10 tomorrow then 12 or something Sunday... can't let it slip, plus had kebab and pizza last night and a sasauge butty this morning, man... *Note to self, so being a fat pig* lol

No Email address as only have works address - will E mail mob across.
Well done on the 3 miles. I'm still off road in that I'm just using the cross trainer (without the arms cos I'm that lazy). Still we'll both hobble across that finish line - hopefully before everybody else has drunk New York dry!!
Lynne - I'm off to get my hair cut now! Great going girl!
El Captain good news about the missus.
Hunty - welcome.. I just found this thread last week myself and this is my first marathon.
Anyone travelling to NY from Heathrow on Friday night?
And does anyone live in NW London who wants to do 18 miles next week?

My Mum is looking after our 3 daughters while we enjoy ourselves and some retail therapy will no doubt be much enjoyed. Shame not to have the kids with us but, considering my 7 year old told me I was rubbish when she saw me come over London Bridge in the FLM, maybe it is not such a bad thing! Her point was that as I was so obviously being beaten by lots of other people I really I couldn't be much good at this running thing! Just the inspiration I needed!!! At least it pushed me to overtake two furry bananas that I had been tracking on the embankment for 2 miles! All the best, El C
Charlotte... I am sure you will make it and hopefully get to the pub in time to..
JV21.. Would be great to finish at the same time.. lets hope that I am able to run the distance..
No more messages for me now until Monday... Going home now..
Feel a wee bitty lazy though, but hey ho, roll on the 5 November, hopefully all those miles i've done in the last few months will be enough, if not well not the end of the world if i have to walk or crawl over the finish line eh.
Hope everyone is enjoyin their taper, if anyone is looking for a wee bit of reading with their spare time check out the New York marathon thread over at Runnersworld.com (US equivalant of this thread), some pretty freaked up folk on there!!
So, 7.7 on Tuesday, 4 on Wednesday, 5+ tonight, that's 17 ish, then 10 tomorrow and a longer 12-14 miler Sunday might just touch 40 mile, which'll do me thinks!
Just can't become lazy now, as Lazy is "putting fat back on" lol... and we can't have that..., not when I've got Lee C vying for first RW Forumite home... ;-)

I've just set up a fundraising page this week justgiving.com/newyorkhereicome if anyone's interested!
I've got a finish time sweepstake going as part of the fundraising but have no idea what time to aim for. Before injury a few weeks ago I was planning to aim for 3:30, think I may have to scale that back to 3:45.
Good luck with people's last long runs this week. The boat race for me on Sunday (Kew to Putney and back = 13 miles), plus a couple to make it up to 15.
Cheers,
Andrew
