Cybarev, you need to click on the ltitle magnifying glass under the picture, that will bring up a massive preview (I do love that marathonfoto does that, as opposed to marathon-photos)!

They're definitely starting to trickle in.  I had one picture up 2 hours ago and now about 6.  They caught my angry walk though! Damn, I was hoping the photographer would have the sense not to click his button after my evil eye

I think I'm going to do Barcelona in the spring, and really think I want to come back for Liverpool, despite my earlier feelings.  Can't decide upon spectating, volunteering, or running it just to prove I can keep a smile on my face!   Half-wise, I think my plans include Tunbridge Wells, Windsor, and maybe Bath.  Have entered the lottery for the Olympic park 5-miler (don't care about time, just experience, particularly as it would be 6 days post-Barcelona).

Am about to head out for a quick run, wearing my pretty blue Liverpool technical top

Jennifer - I don't know if you were the person who gave me my medal, but I loved that moment - it was fantastic having it put around my neck. All the volunteers at the finish (as well as all the way around)were so supportive and helpful, and really made the event special. THANK YOU!

The photos are now appearing on marathonfotos, but there are lots of others around the internet already, including the facebook page Daniel has set up.

cybarev - you need to click on the little magnifying glass at the bottom of the photo and you'll see a larger version. Unfortunately the photos of me at the finish aren't great - as ever in race photos I always seem to be pulling a face at just the wrong moment - but there are some good ones from around the course.

Blimey - I look terrible in some of mine - not paying £££ for those....

Tealsocks and jonc27, Ta for letting me know. Durgh!

Now that I can see them in their glory, after looking at the state of desperation in my eyes I can safely say I will not be buying them!

I'm only 4 foot 11 inches tall. A very tall 4 foot 11 though .

Saw the pictures - then gulped at the price. Wanted a finish line picture - hence touching the clock but not paying that much - will use those taken but Mrs B&L once i'd got my medal.

Nice picture B&L, mine all look rubbish (or is that what all us ugly people say?

hahahaha Beer and Lard that is the BEST EVER FINISH photo I have ever seen, i'm rofl It is just brilliant, so wish i'd have seen you at the start to shout you on, I saw Geoff twice if you were running with him, then i would have realised to look for a tall geezer lol

Jay Snizzel, glad u posted ur picture up, as i shouted you, i remembering shouting Jay, again it would have been at Mile 15, cos i stood there for ages ( a good 2 hours i reckon )

how do u do photos do u just post the http address and it does them???

That is the best photo ever, b&l. Magic!

Hm Click the image insert, and just paste the URL.

next year there should be a festival of running may5-6th, 5k & team challenge on Saturday, separate 10k men & women on the Sunday... All at everyone's favourite place - sefton park.

Tunnel 10k no date yet, probably guess around June 3rd or 10th

Morning all,

Hope you have all had chance to look at the photos now. They are definately not flattering.

B+L your finish line one is brilliant. If I didn't have a complex about my height before, I certainly developed one standing next to you before the race. It was good to put a face to the name.

The only person I was disappointed at meeting was Cake as it shattered my illusion that the bloke from shameless was running marathons.

Can't say I'll be parting with any of my hard earned cash for any of the pics, I don't want to remember the day as torturous.

FRC that one of us at the start is ok, its nice to see a smile on our faces. It was soon wiped off once the race got going.


Hannahsmom thank you for cheering me on. It was the support that made this such a wonderful occasion. I couldn't have done it without it. (-:

Russell, oh no! I'm so sorry - I was looking out for you, honest guv

Hannahsmom, yep, I'll be at London. Possibly for the last time as I want to concentrate on other marathons (but I have said that before!).

B&L, that is a fantastic finish photo.

The weather is glorious down here today and I'm going over the hills and far away at lunchtime

Is anyone treating themselves to some piccies?

I am really pleased with mine (most of them), but I really don't think I can justify the expense!  Plus....the postage is £6 too!  Works out a lot of money.

 Technophobe here, 

How do you save the images?  Right clicking won't work.

Another technophobe...

You can't save the images, it's takes a bit of screen capturing magic.

I might buy one, depending on what else comes through of me (my page currently says at 51% processing).  I do like the background image for the four-picture montage, but I currently don't have four decent pictures!
