Am I too late to join for pasta on the Saturday? It'll be my husband and I. no probs if too late, I've been a bit absent lately.

Come along - we'll just have to all get a bit cosy!

@Osman2007 if you want to move up pens you need to do it at the expo, you can’t do it on the day.

Correct. Come see me at the Point Info and I'll slap a sticker on your bib with your new pen colour. I'm there today and tomorrow, my colleagues can do it if you come on Saturday. I'll be volunteering at parkrun Bois de Boulogne on Saturday.

On Sunday I'll be with the Let's Run Paris cheering squad at mile 22 (between 35-36 km) in the Bois de Boulogne. We are a Paris based group of international runners. You will hear us before you see us!

Best of luck everyone, have fun !

Thanks for organising Pistol. See you Saturday.

KellyR · April 2018

See you all Sat and thanks for organising.

0054 - it's PC. Once you were first in the bar at Coccorans. I was third, first time I've made a podium.

You forgot to mention that you sub 3h a week later after your 3:00:30.

TP - xxxx

Nightmare scenario - I have been packing my stuff to leave for Paris and have mislaid my medical certificate. I went to Dr Tap private GP to see if they could sign it and they refused because they said my blood pressure was too high. (I was pretty stressed.) So I don't have a med cert that allows competitive running. I do have one that allows competitive cycling though! Not sure what to do, but it looks like I may as well not go now - particularly given the train hassles. I was due to go to Paris tonight. All that training for nothing! Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

kenno · April 2018

@maria David - pm me your email address and I’ll send you a template. Sign it yourself, it will be fine.

3PC0 · April 2018

Shhh don't tell TP

Pistol101 · April 2018

Dr Kenno!

Must sort mine out tonight as well!

Running Rodent · April 2018

Good luck to everyone heading for Paris this weekend, especially the first timers. Still my favourite marathon, I’ll be really missing it, but I’m on my way home from Two Oceans in Cape Town at the moment so popping over to Paris seems a bit extravagant...
Don’t get carried away with the downhill at the start, remember to look at the scenery and enjoy it, and eat your body weight in croissants on Monday morning

Check your trains if heading back to London on Monday, mine (17:07) was cancelled so had to change to another time. Thanks for sorting restaurant!

Osman2007 · April 2018

@TartanPimpernel great I’ll be at the expo tomorrow morning! Also great to know there’s some good support in those later miles through the park!!!

OO54 · April 2018

Yes good to hear from Running Rodent & Scarlet Pimpernel- both names I know from the past. Thanks for Reminding me 3PC0- I'm a bit slower these days but hopefully we'll both make the podium at the bar again

Had my last run tonight pre race- all in the lap of the gods now. See you soon folks.

FRG2 · April 2018

Good luck everyone! Heading off to Rome in the morning... somehow feel more nervous than I did for Paris last year

Good luck Esther, couple of last years group are running Rome. Hope it's not too warm..

FRG2 · April 2018

Thanks, Pistol. Will keep an eye out for them!

Pistol101 · April 2018

Safe travels everyone, we're just off to the airport. See you all soon.

Fleet Girl · April 2018

We’ve arrived! It’s sure been a bit warm today! Apparently more overcast over the weekend though...

LiamRunner7 · April 2018

So, just to double-check, we're meeting 6.15 tomorrow at exit 7 of Bastille and then going together to Auberge de Venise?

Yes. Will try and get there for about 6pm. Need to chase the Sunday pub at the same time.

hopefully Gary has a flag, although should be easy to spot 20 runners!!!

Soupy600 · April 2018

Hey everyone, hope where all ready for the morning?? Anyone know where the breakfast run finishes?

Did you manage to find it ok? We ran was good fun.

Just at the expo and ready to run now!

KellyR · April 2018

No worries. Good luck to you too

Maccatheknacca · April 2018

20 mins to spare picking up my number was a bit tight, job done.

Good luck tomorrow all.

Rob359 · April 2018

Hi all - good luck for tomorrow! Any clues how long we should leave to get from the Metro to the pens (ie are there long queues for the bag drops etc)?

jm94 · April 2018

Just picked my bib up off my mate. I've only gone and signed up for the 3hr00 group instead of the 4hr00 group. Can I change this tomorrow?

Running Rodent · April 2018

Good luck folks - I’m more than a bit jealous!

JM94 - yes, you can start in a pen further back than the one on your number, but not further forward.

jm94 · April 2018

Running Rodent - Thanks for clarifying. I had an 'oh ****' moment when she handed it over!

Howdy, Stranger!
