Sorry Mick, never was much one for fine points.

Can you believe, for the sake of hitting a couple of buttons on a keyboard, they won't change a name on a number.

I know its over priced with a poor goody bag but this is extremely scroogeish.

Womble

How long is this race then? Will my tennis shoes be ok? Matt, you can borrow my number. No-one will notice as long as you wear the furry outfit.

Well just a final note before finishing work a getting myself set for tomorrow. I will be on the train to Dublin at 07:30 on Saturday morning, flying to Birmingham and hopefully be in Stratty about 15:00. Best of luck to everyone.

I will be writing the 'Woffy' name on my number tag so please say hallo if you spot me.

Bring on the Greenway and the sun, we will overcome!!!

HM4

I thought about writting my name on my number. Went to write it on and thought how the hell can I get 5 letters on it?

May just settle for HY4.

Not long to go now guys and gals. I'll be of into the city tomorrow to stock up on my energy bars and drinks. Better get some suncream too!
Mick - Good news for my justgiving 85 mile. I am collecting for 'dreams'. I think there is only £10 on my web page but offline I have collected nearly £500. The charity will be happy. I have just called up to order some more forms.
Think I might be able to squeeze some more money from the station. I've got the bug for this charity stuff.

Munching my through last tub of pasta (and sipping yet another 500ml bottle of isotonic) - shall be heading up to Stratford tomorrow afernoon for early evening meal and an early night - hope it's not too warm on Sunday - need to get round within 4:07 to beat overall target time of under 12 hours for Paris, London and Stratford (am running for Parkinsons and the St Christophers Hospice).

Hope every one has a good run on Sunday regardless of whatever time you're hoping to achieve. Best regards to all.

Hippo- plenty of space on the coach. Leaving the Magnet car park next to Stourbridge FC (where we run from) at 07:30. No definite leaving time, but probably leave Stratford about 4pm.

Matt the Brum

And its a fiver I think.

Just had a phone call from hotel to warn of severe traffic congestion in and around Stratford on Avon tomorrow (town centre is closed to traffic) - some sort of carnival to celebrate Shakespeare's birthday - am I missing something here but is Shakespeare not dead?

WhichWayNow

I'm travelling up on the day from Gloucester. Should only take 1 hr max. Hopefully there will be no road blocks on the sunday.

SHADES

Just read my race instructions (briefly) including the bit about not jumping over the mats at the finish line - obviously written by some one who has never run a marathon..lol

[Deleted User]

as if we would have the energy to "jump over the mats!!!!!"

[Deleted User]

nor me.

NorthernExile

Well, the other 'arf (Helen) and me have just been packing our bags ready for tomorrow's hike to Stratford, it's a long hike from Yorkshire. Hope you all have a good race and that we're blessed with cloudy, windless weather!
