Thats better D. Youve done all the training you can do, You are now tapering, It is not a race for people like us, we are doing it for a range of other reasons, YOU WILL BE OK. Trust me.
I'm from Portsmouth, and yes, I'm in the red start! I'm going to set off with the get you round pacers so that I resist the temptation to shoot off too fast! I'm aiming for around about 5hr40 which I think is quite respectable!!
My first marathon too. I have to say, so far BB, Stickless and Adverse Camber have been brilliant with their emails. Thank you guys!
I'm off to expo tonight, and just can't seem to control the butterflies anymore! I am also not sure whether it is wise to let me loose in a place where there is a lot of shopping with this much adrenaline going throught the body! The credit card is about to be hit hard!!
Delia, I'm with you, I'm hoping to go round with the GYR pacer group, I'm starting at the Red Start too. I'm running for the RNLI so will be wearing a bright orange vest.
I go shopping on Sat am, and would be prepared to do a run. Shall we start a list:
Copy, add desired items, with your name/initials beside them. If you can bring, then put initials in brackets. So far I have heard the following requested.
jelly babies cocodamol(Stickless) bananas
If people haven't offered to bring by Sat am when I do the Sainsbury's run, I will try and provide. Bananas might be a problem (likely to suffer in a backpack) so I'd be happy if someone else could provide those.
Hi all I'm here - just trying to calm nerves beforethe big day - made mistake to doing BBC photo tour of route. Pictures took a longtime let alone the race!
Also didn't realise how long it would take to get into London itself. never been to Charlton so that will be an adventure!
I'm working tonight so heading off tomorrow. Intend to get a couple of gels and that's it - having a well earnt shopping spree on non-running stuff next week
No Danno, can't go until Saturday - though I work in London unfortunately this is our press week so I have to stay late...
every cuffing night!
Went last year with my then-bf who was running, was quite impressed with the sheer volume of stuff available, more impressed with myself for managing not to buy anything.
I haven't emailed yourself, BB or Adverse Camber, sorry. All I require, I hope, is encouragement as I go past! I will cetainly look out for you all and give a wave. Hopefully I won't need to stop, but if things go pear shaped then mile 17 is where I'll head to get help! As I've got no family with me on the day it's nice to know I'll have friendly faces cheering me at some point on the course!
