I've not had my number yet! What happens if it does not arrive - will there be a record of me having entered? I sent a cheque, I've not checked whether it has been cashed yet!
WP - don't believe a word of it - size does matter!!
Taper? I'm training for a 54m in 9 weeks. Well... will be training. Honestly. When I get round to it. Maybe when I'm home & have some lovely sand dunes again...
I don't know..... I don't check in for over 34hrs(day off and no free internet access!) and you guys have gone all smutty......you wouldn't find me being smutty;-)
Wp-It's only because we are all concerned about you that we gang up on you:-)
Did my last run today before Sunday, just an easy seven miler. I'm tapering........
Did the Big Dipper this afternoon ( 3 times in fact ), the sand is very soft even after the light rain we've had, and i found it hard going having to stop twice the first time i attempted it I ran it from 3 different angles, although it didn't seem to make a lot of difference, but if you can keep tight to the right hand side and run on the grass verge adjacent to the sand, that may help get you up to half way before you start your lung bursting strides !
Good luck everyone, i think the weather may be kind to you on sunday too.
Wp-Work and family committments decree that I haven't got the spare time, apart from Saturday, which of course isn't advisable.
Just checked emails and I have had one from Sir Steve Redgrave (or Stevie to me) wishing me a Merry Christmas, have I mentioned that we go way back? (before phil spoils it, I'll own up that it was from his company five gold who I emailed earlier on in year when they had free trial offer for sports socks, very nice socks they are too, except in phil's case they didn't fit his dainty size 13's!)

WP, sand is non-impact for me foot so its no trouble running up BD, i just need to get my stamina back again
wow ! no.15... you must be the elite athlete everyones been talking about WP, they don't give out no's below 20 to just any old runner you know ! (Hopes George is watching)
Comments
WP - email sorted. Erm, well, let's just pressy probably not the biggest you've ever received!
No number yet but my mate Ken forgot to enclose a return envelope so no surprise there really!
Taper, taper, taper, taper...
Make sure you laugh at me before the start, I need to get away afterwards so won't be able to wait for you to finish.
now I am the only one allowed fat issues so stop it there We would not dream of laughing at you ..well I won't cause I am a nice person;-)

I would give them a ring tomorrow if number still not turned up and check bank statement to see if cheque is cashed!!
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Look girls, take it from Greeny, size does matter, it's the quantity AND the quality (if you know what I mean).
Wp-It's only because we are all concerned about you that we gang up on you:-)
Did my last run today before Sunday, just an easy seven miler. I'm tapering........
Zzz-I know it is only concern for me:-) gosh you are tapering all ready
Smutty are you sure............ must be someone else
recovery run after work today only 2 miles then tomorrow 14 miles a bitter faster than last week and Saturday I can taper for race;-)

I am with UG quality and quantity are the way to go;-) so I will bring 2 bags for my present;-)
CDK

If you are close to junc 45, then give yourself an hour to get to the race.
It seems that according to a friend who is also running, that we are going to be cycling the 15 miles to and from the race !!!!!!
George.... mad ! i think this is a pre-race excuse as you know WP is going to beat you this time around
WP... don't let me down this time !
So I am the elite athlete...........laughs so much Poppy falls of chair and injures herself.
Realises George could be watching of course I am a super elite athlete and will finish in front of George no problem.....
So that is OFT and myself special elite runners drafted in to highlight your race:-);-)
You have got your cunning plan in place FA dont you to make sure I beat George just as a back up plan;-)
