I'm in the Washington Jefferson Hotel...In the middle of midtown New York, on West 51st Street
I've been looking at the previous page of threads...Lee C, looks like you may just have the edge on me I think... looks like overall, alot fitter than myself, if you're getting ready for IM stuff... plus with all the cycling and swimming... it could go to the wire me thinks ;-)
Now that's we've decided on the place to meet Sunday night then... we need to get some contact details set out... for
MSN/email = pugheaven@hotmail.com
Be handy if we all have Internet access in NY as well...
If anyone wants my mobile number and we're going to need I think, to re-arrange if something happens... send me an email and I'll send it through.
I'd post my mobile on here, but it'll be picked up by Google within 24 hours and I don't want the world and aliens knowing my mobile number ;-)

I am in the Crown Plaza and willl try and make it for a quick drink but I know my party will want to drag me off elsewhere pretty sharpish.It would be great to meet the Forum crowd.
Bagpuss
Pug - I might join you for a beer if I can still stand after the run and after beating you (not!!!).
Else anybody around and arranging anything monday night?
Catherine S - Tried to get a room at Mansfield but fully booked so I will be staying at the W in Lexington...miles away but they have a good spa for a wonderful massage after the run..
miles covered in 2006 (so far): 617
10 longest runs: 165.90
5 longest runs: 100.5
longest run: 26.2 (or 20 in a training run)
PB's broken in 2006 (so far) - 10k, half and full marathon.
Maybe I have done enough to break 4 hours after all (with a strong tail wind etc etc)?! I also ran the first half of FLM listening to The Archers omnibus on my Mp3 to keep myself calm (again very sad, but true) so maybe this time I can try to go a bit faster in the first half and see what happens.
I'm sooo excited I don't think I'm actually going to make it to the start in NYC in one piece!!!
I am still going to run/walk/crawl the race and I am looking forward to it..so if anyone else is looking for a slow running partner...count me in!! Sub 10 Hours...
This may impact my ability to come for a drink...or meal.. May still be on the course whilst you are all eating LOL...
I will keep posting from now on.. I have stopped sulking... Epecially after reading the past few postings...

3.97 miles
26:06 (6:34/mile)
Little run tonight straight from work... legs felt dead after last nights nearly 8 miler... looks like by Friday I'll have broke the 1500 mile barrier for the year...
As for "other halfs" to the Sunday drink/meal thing, yeah, of course... my new wife will be there, dont' think I can get rid of her beings as we're on our honeymoon... :-) Even I'm not that bad? ;-)

well untill next time
Oi Rowan. What ya doing nipping in front of me? Where's this 3.25 come from? I'll end up giving myself a heart attack trying to beat you now.
Coronium and Catherine. I work in the City too, just behind the Bank of England. I'm always a bit embarrassed running along crowded City streets in my shorts and skinny white legs. Sorry about the dog.
My charity says registration cards should be with us this week. Had anyone had theirs yet?

I got panicked this morning when milady asserted that I need a visa and Passport is about to expire - I nearly expired. False alarm, as I knew in heart of hearts, but got me going. Now all I need are tickets and regestration form..
A windy 5 miles this morning (the weather)starting to think about NY about every 5 minutes..

The registrations cards are on their way from NY - we (2:09 Events) got an email this morning with an apology for lateness from NYRR that the cards have been sent by courier on 19 Oct (today) and will be with us on 23/24 Oct. If you are travelling with 2:09 we will turn them around as quick as poss. and get them sent out by 1st class post.
I notice you have chosen our main group hotel - Crowne Plaza - to meet up on Sunday evening - I will be staying there too, we have 400 runners staying there, and look forward to meeting some of you and hearing your stories from the day.
Don't know about you guys/gals but i can't concentrate on anything but my plan of attack for the race. This will be my first marathon so i just hope i finish in one piece!
See you there..
