...I think it's a good idea.
Have you done it before? Is it really flat?
Basker
You could get a cheap flight to Glasgow, take the train to FW and local B&Bs start at £15 per night, so it wouldn't have to be all that expensive.
Unless you live in Australia, or something

I'll be going for sub-3:00, and maybe 2:55 if the training goes well.
Shades and Hippo, do you, like blood donation, get a silver medal for your 25th marathon? Thought not.

I dont think I can wait from Dublin next week to Rotterdam in early April. So Lochaber may well be 26th and FLM would then be 25th ......
stevenage, November (35)
luton December (35)
Nothing January or February
Got the grizzly in march
FLM or This in April ( or maybe Paris If I can find a lady romantic enough!!!!!!!!!!!)
there are two short iltras ahead
one in january, and one in february
You qualify as mad as you are doing 5 marathons in 5 weeks!!! (sounds pretty mad to me )
Funny you should say about medals Plummy. As Lochaber doesn't DO medals I was thinking of orgainising our own. If I don't get in to FLM then this will be my first marathon and I want some thing a tad more substantial than a teeshirt :-)
