Aww fank yew TT. If I could do the dark room thing I'd be alright, but instead I have to drive up the motorway to London for some daft reason
Now sixers, pay attention. I know you are all a little overwhelmed with the trivialities of training and 'tapirs' and signing for a number on a bit of square waterproof paper, but let's take some time to consider the SERIOUS aspect of Sunday. Yes - BODY HAIR. In 2 days time we will be on public display clad in a variety of, but little more than, our vests and PE shorts. Do we want a 'raised-arm-finish-photo' that provides conclusive evidence that the missing link is a member of Support Group 6? Do we want our race time impeded by mats of snot, jelly baby sick and lucozade caught in our leg hair? NO WE DO NOT. So up to the bathroom with you all; get a new blade in the razor and BANISH that body hair NOW. But try to leave the skin on that tender area across your achilies. Unlike me. And don't bend over to shave your legs with a grade 1 migraine. Unlike me.
I don't think my little green legs will be hopping along at any great pace at all. I had hoped for sub 4:30, now I simply plan to finish before the street lights come on.
Any advice on REALLY good stands to visit at the expo this afternoon TT? I don't plan to be there too long or spend ages wandering aimlessly. Limpette and I lack that [generally female] hormone that dictates shopping is enjoyable. In fact, in the whole hunter / gatherer scenario of our human development I am definitely the cave-person that stayed home and tended the fire! Or tamed wild guinea-pigs or summat.
That Tiptoes is a wag. How he can talk about legs after some of the outfits that he has worn on our training runs I don't know. Okay, so we are on different starts but your anticipated time sounds a bit like mine so hope to see/meet speak somewhere en route.
Warning - As Tiptoes knows I do a very nice line in Tourettes moments.
Limper. if it is general running gear then the jog shop stand ( lots of bargins)
Apart from that the London Pride stand is giving away free beer, asics have pens/lip seal, Addidas think we all smell so are giving away under arm spray.
The Guide dog stand is fun to watch the puppys playing ()
Eagle - I'll look out for a green vested Derek en route! I am part of a twin-set and will be in a white T with the limper frog on the back and [ahem] left breast Don't worry about suffering from running-tourettes... personally I think spitting like a camel is the way to go!
Fanks Tiptoes - I was heading for RW and Asics and that's about it! If I visit the guide dogs I am likely to 'liberate' a pup and take it home with me. Are you really gonna stand around catching a chill at the end? You're a quick finisher aren't you? [lord forgive me the double entendres]. Hopefully I'll be yammering down the Mall between 4:30 - 5 hours.
Good luck Abbie
Two more paracetemol, find my sun glasses and I really should get on my way to London.
Well known for going round in circles me. Tiptoes - you keep those cheeks well covered.... obviously another quiet day there at work....so you should be okay to bunk off this pm?

Limper.
You sound just like an Army Major.
Yes M'am will proceed now to bath room and commence shaving
Indeed Tiptoes.
Head up, chest out. Fooooooorwaaaaaaards.
<< rubs hand over TT's smooth shiny legs >> Mmmmm
go faster legs
Streamlined legs
I don't think my little green legs will be hopping along at any great pace at all. I had hoped for sub 4:30, now I simply plan to finish before the street lights come on.
Limper
Look out ( if possible ) for a guy in Reading Roadrunner top (green blue stripes) and Derek on back
he is Reading Eagle starting in Red pen 8 if you see him he is good company on a run
I will be hanging around the finish so really hope to see you and the rest of the group 6'rs
(yes have torch for those worried about light )
You will not miss me, go faster legs and heavy chain around neck as per photo on previous post

Hi there Limper,
That Tiptoes is a wag. How he can talk about legs after some of the outfits that he has worn on our training runs I don't know. Okay, so we are on different starts but your anticipated time sounds a bit like mine so hope to see/meet speak somewhere en route.
Warning - As Tiptoes knows I do a very nice line in Tourettes moments.
Cheeky tiptoes!
I'm hoping that I cross that finish line before a torch is needed!
Eagle morning
Limper. if it is general running gear then the jog shop stand ( lots of bargins)

Other than that not a lot on offer
