Woooo hoooooo the faux six - I shall stalk you slowies - at a distance obviously, as with the mentoring I expect you'll be going faster then me in no time
LB, I'm really glad we outsourced the picking, it's sort of passing the buck but more importantly actually putting our hands up and saying that we couldn't be objective enough.
And so, in light of that I think the chosen person did really well.
Also, I'm so convinced that Rodale will never pick me for any of their comps because I've been a bit 'me', that I'm going to enter them all under a different name in the future.
Good or bad idea?
Good idea. Its really hard to feel aggrieved when the people who "win" these things are friends and you want them to do well. I don't think Rodale would ever pick me for the same reason but I simply won't enter their comps anymore because I think they should have done. I've never DNF'd and I can actually RUN and there is a little voice in the back of my head that says "we don't believe she runs at all"...
Paranoid? Maybe. Sulking? Not this time. I am CHUFFED to bits with those they've chosen - whoever they are. We're all still actually RUNNING these marathons remember! We already had them booked.
I'd sulk, but I love you all and I'm glad you got picked.
Plus - I can't sulk and drink wine at the same time.

Excellent idea
I'm glad we didn't have to pick too, in more than one category there were several people who I really, really wanted to win.
Well, I would sulk but that wouldn't be very sporting of me, so a big congrats to all the winning losers, especially Seren cos I'll be trying to follow her programme!
Still, the fact that I'm a losing loser and today being my last day of work before Christmas gives me just the excuse I need to get drunk!

Does this mean I'm evicted from the losers thread?
I need a drink.
I think the losers thread is a tad over subscribed at the moment
I do hope that those not chosen will join in the relative thread, I am sure there is a lot to be gained even as an onlooker
Many many thanks to our mentors ...
I demand a recast of the votes, this was a shamble done by people who were virtually fat and drunk....!
Congrats to those who got this, and I will be following one thread closely...
Good luck to everyone.
Well done everyone
There's a relatives thread M.eldy? I'm confused
<puts on brave face>
It's because I'm ginger beer isn't it????

congratulations all twelve of you
Please feel free to hop over to my thread where there will always be a free bar and chips.
I'm not sure what happens now. Someone said something about running but I think that's just a wind up.
Quite excited but not sure why....
I was frightened to death I'd be picked, but now I haven't been I feel a tad sad !!
I shall be following XB & UK
I'm excited too Minni.
But there's also a feeling of responsibility, this being the first "experiment" and all that. I want to do the forum and my mentor proud.
Thanks again to Meldy, KK and Hash for organising this. A great idea and I wish everyone luck - especially my mentor who is going to need it.
Congrats guys!
I'd sulk, but I love you all and I'm glad you got picked.
Plus - I can't sulk and drink wine at the same time.
Well done every one and good luck

On top of that - I couldn't have done the choosing either! Too many worthy winners among that lot.

Sorry that you were not chosen but I cant see you doing what Wifey tells you anyway !!!
