"In March all runners who have been accepted to run the 2008 Marathon will receive a registration form"

Anyone got theirs yet? How long do we have to wait?

Mine's arrived. Because I'm on a club place it's the first confirmation I've actually had (other than my cheque being cashed) so I can officially start getting excited.

Mine just arrived yesterday too. I'm sure they'll all arrive within the next week. It IS exciting having that all important bit of paper in your clutches! Cannot wait to go to Expo, I was giddy with excitement all day last year. FIVE WEEKS TODAY people, woohoo!!!

I haven't got my form yet either and I am a club member, so am praying for its arrival this week, how awful if you did all that training and your form got lost. Just did my first 19 mile yesterday and did it in 2hr 58mins which I think i am pleased with i want a sub 4.30 not too good on times, do you think this is possible.

Clarkinator, that is a good pace and if you can keep it up you could be on for a sub 4. On the day you will be running a bit faster than in training as the fantastic support and atmosphere gives you a boost. Do you use a GPS device to monitor speed, distance and time?

Well i do have a garmin but do not really use it to its potential. I have not used the heart rate monitor with it yet. I am running between 8-9min miles but noticed that on the last 2 miles they were a lot slower should i go out slower, i feel comfortable running at that pace.

I would stay at what you are comfortable with. As you have a Garmin you will be able to gage what your finishing time will be in the race so can tell whether you need to speed up to get to your target time.

I got club place too - glad I am not the only one thinking 'what if?' seeing as you get no confirmation. Mine came yesterday too.

as a GB runner my "your in" mag came from the charity so yes it was great to get this straight from FLM as it really showed I AM IN!

I spent 45 mins flicking through and reading with my HR fluttering and the excitement brewing up!

When I did my 1st (and only!) FLM in 2005 I was bouncing off the ceiling at the expo! I was awestruck and as for the day itself ..... well I'll leave that for you all to discover/remember next month!

I have a club place too, but have used the opportunity to raise money for a charity as well. Now I'm getting paranoid about having to return all the money - or at least come up with some very creative lies! - if something has got screwed up somehow on the admin. Please hurry up, registration pack!
