morning everyone,
as a virgin marathon/FLM'er i'm not familiar with the support thing.
After only recently deciding i could do FLM, due to various injuries that have thrown any real training plan out of the window, i managed to lose the form for picking up race number, Doh!!!!!, got another one on the way, with race number on it, but i've probably left it all to late have i, to join a support group? It's been a long road to get even this far, but i've managed to raise a reasonable amount of sponsorship for the british heart foundation, so i will be wearing one of their bright red 'heart runners' vests. I'll also have my 'mad tortoise on a motorbike' logo, front and back with 'need for speed' around it, and on the front also, above number will read, 'ANOTHER DAVE'
I wouldn't expect any refreshment/food at this late stage, but a cheer of encouragement from any forumites would be really welcome.
All the best, and good luck everyone, runners and supporters.

Waaaaabit popped into the Group 7 thread this morning and said she ins't actually running on Sunday . . there had been a misunderstanding . .
so they have one less runner now . . why don't you pop into their thread and ask if you could join?
if you're not too demanding (ie don't ask for a helicopter or anything mega like that) I'm sure they'll welcome you
thanks, i'll give them a try.
Hehehehehehehehehehehe
