Blow torch under foot and dead legged is the perfect description for me too Stuart. You are not alone Shielsy! Also have quite a bad headache and sore eyes. What's all that about? Have had email from my second to say she came 2nd in the firm and I came 3rd. A young 22 year old came in 1 40 something but she is a super athlete who ran San Diego marathon last year in 3 20 or something daft and was nearly a tennis pro. We didn't even know she was doing it. Have to say I revised my opinion about ipod runners yesterday. So many just bounced in front of me and then when the ambulance came they weren't moving over and had to be physically pushed to one side by some of the other runners. I didn't have the strength myself.
The top of my thighs problem is the same problem I had after FLM 2005 if I remember.I went to physio who said it was due to not using m backside muscles enough when running. Does that make sense?
Blith - I get discomfort at the top of my thighs as well (really felt it towards the end of that 21 mile run I did last weekend). I get pain also right at the top, i.e. where your thigh finishes and your torso begins!
Out of curiosity I put 'banana skins healing' in Google. Seems that banana skins can help itching, mozzie bites, general inflammation and also, piles!!

Nice one, commando

No BBS, still waiting on a few. Presumably they will be in transit today
no rpobs xl nice to meet you, ill be back...going to look for the cumbrian run as you suggested...fancy doing it now
oh dear just had a look in the events section and im away on hols when its running on the 19th.
It's a good one, I'm sure you'll be able to enter for this year's too. There are usually a few less than 50,000 running in Carlisle.
That soreness is like a badge of honour, isn't it BBS? It may be even worse tomorrow. Why not try a recovery run, a gentle three miles or so?
lol XL , its started already, wonder who will get 30,000 my moneys on shielsey
Are you running a book then, Mr sj?
Wuss
Just noticed your holiday comment, commando - that's a shame.
Get 2009 in your diary - it's usually the third Sunday in October. We'll see you there, and I'll be in my running gear this time.

James might have extended his break at The Rex hotel. A fine Hotel.
