Wow Tracey thats fantastic!
Deirdre - I'm hoping Roobarb & I will get a sub 5hrs at Brighton next year.
Hi Deidre! Welcome to the thread
When is your next Marathon?
Tracey, my half is 27 Oct so loads of time to get a few more runs in, although back in US now, temps in the low/mid 30's so may struggle a bit with the heat/humidity, I think there will be some early mornings happening!
AT, are your shoes tied too tight?
Hello all
Just catching up...again!
Welcome Always Trying and Deridre
Great LSR's going on...well done ladies!
I am hoping for sub 5 in Brighton 2014...may do London as well???
I am heading off to Brighton tomorrow for a conference...hope to find some time to run along the sea front!
Welcome AT and Deidre
When do we find out about the VLM ballot...is it this month?
Enjoy Brighton MWW
Cinders - end of the month for VLM ballot places.
Thanks Tracey
Hello everyone
And welcome Deidre 
I am now in taper mode for Loch Ness. Its going to be a slow one but I don't care - I will be there and that is the main thing
Do you remember Mokina who used to come on here a couple of years back? She moved back to Italy about three and a half years ago. She is over for a few days and I met her for lunch today
She looks great and is still running 
Hopefully I am going to visit her next year 
She said to say hi to you all 
It was lovely to catch up with her; we think it could be as long as 5 years ago that we went for lunch 
Where does the time go?
Roobs - I remember coming to your pub and having lunch with Mokina and you ????
That's right Tracey
I did a 20mile run at the weekend! I actually enjoyed it, apart from the hangover part...
looking forward to trying another 20mile without hangover to see how much easier it will be!
always trying - well done on your 20 miles
Thank you Tracey G.
i was amazed to find my legs disn't hurt after

Always trying...Well done
Well another rejection mag for me so no VLM next year
Cinders - I go my reject mag too
But I do have a GB place with Anthony Nolan
Rejection here too! Think it is a shame they took away the guaranteed places for those that had requested for long enough.
however I will hopefully be doing a sub 5 hour autumn marathon!!
Yes, it's a shame about the 5 year thing. Think I'm on about 5 or 6 now.
I'm in but then that's because I deferred this year. Just have to stay fit and well now!
I did Loch Ness on Sunday
It was feppin hard as my back decided to go again between 13 and 14m. But my osteopath has said that I need to keep moving so I did lol! It was reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaallllllllllly slow - 5.55.22 - but I did it 
That's my comeback cherry popped 
Now tapering for Yorkshire on 20th October 
Well done Roobs
Ooo yorkshire sounds hillier than Abingdon. Good luck on the 20th!

Thank you
Loch Ness is hillier than Yorkshire lol! Actually, I don't think its too bad but I'm not thinking about it
Roobs - you have done so well what a fantastic comeback
Yorkshire sounds fun!
Where is everyone
Hope you are all well
I am here, struggling with tiredness and knowing what tI do now. I wanted on. More 20 miler before the 20th for confidence but not sure I can fit it in now. Not sure if just to focus on shorter faster runs or what really!
aby thoughts greatly appreciated!
i have done a couple of 20 mile runs so far.
Which one are you doing on the 20th?
Ok no more long runs or speed work! I know it is psychological but I am doing Abingdon, with fingers crossed for sub 5 hours as that is the cut off point!
3 weeks to Beachy
2 weeks to Yorkshire and Abingdon too Tracey
I've known people finish outside the 5 hour cut off before at Abingdon AT so unless they have tightened it up, I reckon you should be ok. Mind you, go for 5 hours anyway
I need to buy new running shoes????
