Great to see a few of the other forumites running as well.
I was still clinging to the runners world 4:30 pacer at the time so couldn't stop to chat, sorry.
Thanks to everyone involved - love ya all.
Oh, and sorry for kissing Jon - think I was getting a bit of sun-stroke !
Seeya in 2004 then ?
Have you recovered??
Always wondered about you boy!
I ran right past and waved and shouted hello forumites or something like that. I was in good form at the time as Mr L. had just told me about a half mile before the Paula had won in 2h15m. So I kept speeding on my way.
One of these days I will meet you! Definitely will be looking to join up on the supporter stand next year.
Also, my better half asked me to pass on her thanks. She said it was a great spot, with plenty of room for the kids to run about and enough space for my Mum to go off and have a little cry on her own after I went past.
Fantastic job. If I don't get in to run it next year, put me down for one of the organising jobs.
I'd been feeling pretty low for quite a while before I got to you all, and for the previous 5 miles I'd been thinking "5 miles to Mudchute", "4 miles to Mudchute", "3 miles to Mudchute", "2 miles to Mudchute" and finally "1 mile to Mudchute". I was searching for the banner in the crowd and praying that I was on the right side, but when I saw it I immediately had the most enormous boost!!! I remember sprinting over and wanting to hug everyone, and actually hugging some poor bloke almost to death! I think it may have been Ashley - apologies :-) Many thanks for offers of help with my mega-blister, and for the really lovely banana (thanks Mk :-)) It was also lovely to see Jim the Plum waiting there when I stood up after putting my shoe back on! You all gave me a great boost for the next mile, and you're the best supporters in the world :-) If I'm not running next year, I'll be proud to be there supporting :-)
xxxxxx
I'll do better next time eh ?
It was great to see you all there, I had set a time to get to you by and after the trouble I had at 16 it definitely kept me going strong until 18.
Great organisation.
Well done!
Good to see you all in the Traffy Thistle afterwards as well, albeit briefly.... sorry we couldn't stay but had masses of family descending on us for champagne afterwards!
LOL and thanks again!
I somehow seemed to have missed you guys, & I promise I didn't cheat and dodge a few miles.
I was away with the fairy's most of the time, but really can't believe that I ran straight past you when I was actually looking out for you all. By mile 20 I realised that i must have blinked for a very long time, was guttered
Maybe I was running in a different race...yes...that must be it.
But thank you anyway I'm sure you all cheered for me and I just rudely ignored you all
sorry
I was the bearded bloke that ran past waving arms and shouting around 1hr58-59mins into the race. I guess that must have put me very close to Marmite Master!
You gave me a nice lift for the next mile or 2.
Your coffee was waiting curtosy of Meerkat, sorry I missed you otherwise I would have ensured that you had got it.
FatGirl Slim I was there and said hi. You may remember me as my little boy had just been for a wee in the park and I said he should have waited for the toilet!
Wee Piglet. It was me you hugged. It was fantastic to get a runner suddenly appear from the mass and decend into our open arms. Sorry if I pulled away after a short while but you had just come from the shower and were very wet and cold and the sudden shock of cold soaked through my T-shirt... still lets not go into that!
Hope the blister didn't give you too many problems and I see you later left Jim the Plum behind.
If I am not in FLM next year I will be on the supporters stand again. If I am in FLM then I will definatly stop (even if it costs a PB it will be worth it just to get a cuddle and kiss from all (and I will want one from all) the lady supporters.
