I'll be the fella limping across the finish, out of breath, looking like a beatroot, looking for a bloke with twin boys and a tanned, blond, gob on a stick (one hell of a description by the way)
Alan, there isn't entry on the day for this one is there? I'm only asking as some people I know asked me and I told them that there was no on the day entries and to get there application into you asap.
If anyone fancies a nice little warm up run before the Tunnel 10K don't forget that Liverpool Running Club are holding the Walton Park 5 Mile race next Tuesday at 7.30,done it last year,nice little run,entry is £8/£10 (£1 extra on the night) but you do get a nice little memento at the end,last year was a Walton Park 5 Mile commemorative towel which made a nice change.
Chieffy - I'm going to see if they will take my form for the Walton Park 5 at the club tonight. I hope we're not running round that track tonight. It's worse than doing a cross country on that thing.
That's what I'm telling them Alan. I've never understood this waiting till the last minute to enter a race. It's not like the supermarket where you get a whoops sticker on it for a lower price. You either want to do a race or you don't.
More importantly... it doesn't help us with the provision of race collateral! We need to know in advance how much of everything we need to have on the day. The worst case scenario was the Half Marathon which saw people just turning up and helping themselves!! The ones at the back are the ones who lose out when there is 'insufficient' T shirts, water and so on.
Mr LB is now considering running it. If he gets his arse in gear that is....
I never mentioned a tan by the way...... But I am having a fake bake next week!
Standing in a nothing but a paper thong in front of a screen while some 18 year old with a fabulous body sprays an airgun at you is quite an ordeal though....
I like my HM tee shirt - even if it is too big. Its like a comfort blanky!
I, however, am the opposite in appearance; short dark hair, pasty white/blue to the point of reflecting sunlight and quite quiet. Will they even let me into Liverpool?!
LB & Jay Snizzel - real shame you guys are unable to participate this year Still only 365 days later and 2012 Mersey will be upon us !!
I will be easy to recognise - fat / middle aged / red faced & knackered - only thing that gets me over the finish line is the promise of food in the goody bags !!
Did the Mueller 10km last weekend with a fantastic personal worst Mind has been elsewhere ie sorting out my first house therefore lack of training. Mind you it was really really good fun as my boyfriend who normally runs 44mins stuck with me this time and everytime I wanted to stop, he gave me a firemans lift up the hilly bits. We still even managed to finish 55 places infront of the two guys tied together trying to do a three legged race. I'm now 9mins slower than last year Hope I do a bit better at this one cause enjoyed it last year
Nutty - don't worry about the time. You know this is a good race, so just relax and enjoy it and you will probably do better anyway.
Shrek - I refuse to be middle aged. I don't know where the end is so that means I can't know where the middle is, therefore I am just young all the time. Simples.
LB - My age is a well kept secret - even I can't remember and have to ask her indoors ! Fast approaching 40 !!!! Ahh.......
JPenno - If LB looks that good - I will be first to the finish line - love "d" the muppets
Nutty1976 - I did the Muller too ! What were the hilly bits ? Just some gentle hills near the start but I found it fairly flat other than that - good run & great that youre boyfreind helped you on a bit. Well done for lasting it out & finishing in a respectable place - I cheered the 3 legged ones on at the end but what a day - great carnival atmosphere - shame I just couldnt face the hogroast after the run
lfc - good attitude to middle aged - for me it was crisis number 1 at around 34 - I am in need of another crisis now

Enter early. It really does help us.

OK.... OK!
But I was drunk when I wrote that highly accurate description...
Sorry, LB - I'm a pedant in diguise.
I, however, am the opposite in appearance; short dark hair, pasty white/blue to the point of reflecting sunlight and quite quiet. Will they even let me into Liverpool?!
I always count on the fact I'm quite little so no one notices anyway!

Funniest thing though was the comments I got and the shock horror on peoples faces when I was being carried lol

How to recognise LB
I won't be wearing my red shirt!
I will wear something completely inappropriate and uncomfortable, as is in keeping with my high maintenance reputation!
JPenno.....
