There's plenty of time to think about it - and lots more to think about I suspect. I hadn't given a thought to travel arrangements or even having kit at the finish line!!!!
Sue - there is a travelodge about 100 yards from the proposed start line, my parents would be staying with us to look after ickle boffs - otherwise I would have said have our spare room! We can make arrangements for said parents to take all kit from the start in Bedwas to the finish - although we would have to meet up outside the stadium as they can't get access to the runner's area.
(You can tell I have been giving this some thought!)
I'll probably drive up on the day though - it's only something like 40 minutes at that time of day on a Sunday. If I could park my car at yours then it's just a case of getting a lift back. I suspect there will be enough of us to share a taxi.
These are things that can be ironed out nearer the day.
I've been doing a little research on the running vest idea. Techy vests/t shirts are cheap enough on Wiggle, it's just finding someone to print on them. There are a couple of Tshirt printers around Swansea/Port Talbot. Probably some around Cardiff way as well.
I can find out about the medals as well - we had some made for our WRN local races a while ago, so I can investigate how much etc if you wish.
I wonder if RW will give this project any attention????
I think we should try and keep the official mara people on board, positive spin - we really appreciate all the work etc, can only publicise the main event etc

...or at least I hope you have mail!
sorry to sound a bit negaitive
i think this is a great idea, but i have post ultra low today

did boff get ANY sleep last night;)
Sue - you are a marvel! I think anyone who participates in this hairbrained scheme deserves a medal so any info on that would be a help!
I think you are getting a little over excited dear;))
sue is just as bad
i could do a half first and then do my usual amble round the half with Mummy Duck afterwards :¬)
can't possibly be lack of sleep!!
I agree Bern - that's your job allocated then ;0))))
There's a list somewhere - Boff may find it when he wakes up - lazy toad ;0)

In my defence I had taken Boffette swimming - I think, or was I dreaming??
Sue, me bored - never;))
Welcome aboard Duck girl:)) - No cut offs to get in the way here... just might have to start running in the middle of the night to make it work !!!
Bern, you have mail:))
...sorry bud, I hadn't seen your post until later, and even then didn't twig just how rude my post was following yours!!!
- clearly I really am half asleep!
You are spot on, ideally we need the official half to be in support of our venture - as this will make the whole thing so much easier.
Hipps, I have (eventually) worked out how to contact the 100 mara club, and have asked their advice regarding this run counting:)
- will keep all posted:))
i am sure you and sweetie can think of other activities to do if you cant sleep;))
or are you both obsessed with marathons;)
Thought my luck was in when she asked was I awake... then she asks me what time the sunrises in October!!!
Im chuckling here
I think you were the first runner in the family werent you-now sweetie runs and she is more obsessed than you;)
I have a name for the run!!
I have been giggling to myself about it
The Cardiff Half and Half
OR 'arfn'arf
'arfn'arf is a great name!
I think it would be great if there is official support, and I like the idea of the tech t-shirt so we stand out a bit.
the more you think of it the better it is
All we need now is a T shirt printer!
)
printing will be £15 a screen
you will need a screen for every colour
x2 if you need a back print
then there is printing costs
