That is pretty good actually.. and I like no.9.. I try to acknowledge their support whenever possible...
I liked it too. I always try to say thank you to marshals and supporters and normally you get an even bigger cheer from them!
Thou shall not compare thyself to other runners
Thou shall never say 'I am a not a runner'. If you run, you are a runner.
Thou shall not skimp on sleep
Remember the "rest day' and keep it holly
Honor thy muscles and thy "aches and pains" and do not push through an injury. Runners are not invincible
Thou shall not forget to hydrate
Thou shall not commit the sin of wearing cotton, especailly on race day
Thou shall not ignore thy shoes. Get properly fitted and check for wear often
Thou shall not get stuck in a "rut" but will vary thy running by switching up elevation, distance and pace.
Thou shall no convet thy neighbour's medals
Thou shall worship DV, ATM, Emmy, and Yan
That Guardian blog has one with common sense in the title. Come on, if I had any common sense I'd never have signed up to run 26.2 miles once never mind having done so 11 times now!
Just a reminder if any of the London peeps are around tonight... I'll be with Mrs DV at The Garage, 20-22 Highbury Corner, N5 1RD tonight to see a superb band..:

If you are around, pop down and we can have a few beers and enjoy the excellent music. The venue has a 10:30pm curfew, so it won't be a late night....
This morning I waved off about 300 cyclists including 30 injured (limbless) servicemen who are cycling from Paris to London to raise funds for H4H. If you see them going past en route to Whitehall give them a big cheer. The weather report is dire, best of luck to them all.
Just got the results from the ultra... I came joint 1st! One of the RAF guys also did 100 miles...
DV that is outstanding!!!!! You superhero you x
Wow! Well done!
DV - That's amazing! Tonight I'm going to run 9 miles. That'll be my longest run since London.
DV - amazing
got to be time for another F-Bomb (sorry in advance runners world organisers).....
FUCKING AWESOME!
DV - joint first! Amazeballs!
You guys are doing some very inspiring runs, great work!
I'm off to see a podiatrist Thurs, I will have these feet sorted, and I will run properly again soon! In the meantime, the bike will be my friend
Wow well done DV!!!!!
DV - Amazing stuff yet again!! Congratulations!
Well done to the weekend racers too, and TJB yestersay!
Good luck with the podiatrist on Thursday JusT. Alannah has an emergency appointment later on today with a consultant from South after her first trip to physio yesterday......
36 hilly miles done in the last few days, study study study, and some serious vodka drinking on Saturday......but I congratulated myself on managing to run home at shutting time!!
DV - outstanding
!
TP - any idea when they're likely to reach Whitehall?
DV
I'm going demented with study here....deciding to do my two biggest exams on the same day was a bad mistake, I fear. One week to go - and it's half term...
RR - some time on Sunday afternoon.

YM, you will be fine. I have every confidence in you.
Kaz, hope the rv goes well. How the hell do you fit everything in?
Some funny comments on the Guardian article.
TP - thats why I have KOC, and its getting earlier and earlier.......think I'll be staying up soon!! But I have just had a little holiday, 4 days off - Sat was day off last week, sun as normal, bank holiday yesterday and today is my day off this week!!
YM - one week and I am away for my lot. FFS, so much to do and get organised. Right now I have no-one to watch girlz the second weekend, due to a stupid BF double booking himself! grrrrrrr.
Like, totally...
WOOOOOOHOOOOOO go DV!!! That's absolutely awesome.
DV - absolutely brilliant! You need to train next time - I cannot even imagine what you could do with some training. Allow me to buy you a beer when I see you in a few weeks. Or two.
Good luck with the exams Yer Maj, it'll all be over soon. And to you too Kaz.
ATM the weekend's half went so well (slow but steady!) I'm now internettering to see what other races I can enter. It'll all end in tears...
How many imaginary children are we having? Jimbob, RS and RR will have to be imaginary godparents. And Maus of course, seeing as she started all this.
No teaching them rude words mind, Uncle Jimbob and Auntie Sal.
DV - that's outstanding.
Kaz - emergency appointment doesn't sound good...hope it turns out okay.
HS - Loved the pottery medal
Yer Maj - You decided to come here for a bit of sanity? Just think of it as the last couple of miles in a marathon - it's tough, but the end's in sight.
Can I be the uncle that lives far, far away?
Emergency didn't turn out to be to bad after all, I think the physio was erring on the side of caution?! She has something wrong with her ankle which is basically causing a lot of grief in her knee and hip. And it was not the cartilidge as suspected! All very technical!
Incredible, DV. Top bombing.
have we got the rep for being those types that regularly use them curse words Auntie Sal?
Just back from a superb gig in London... The Besnard Lakes... me and Mrs DV had a great time... this band are excellent... massive sound. Bed now... zzzzzzzzz....
