I'm a Geordie, but I live in Nottingham. That still doesn't count as South though!

Nottingham has my favouritely named river running nearby, the Erewash. (It's also home to head office and the place I ran my only marathon so far.) Definitely not South.

I definitely don't think of myself as a Southerner. Mind you, Wales is too small to fit all the points of the compass in, so I guess there's a lot of South and North because of the lack of East.

Warm night tonight! Does this, ironically, mean it's getting cooler? I hope so. I've still got some running to do!

I am not from the south. I am
North of the border. Here in Fife Scotland we have had a week of fab weather but I only saw it last saturday and Sunday as my office sees no daylight. My 10 mile was done in really hot sunshine last Sunday. Wilted badly by 8 miles so was glad to stop at a farm cottage and ask nicely to fill my water bottle.

Still not decided what I am wearing. Really want to get my tee shirt printed with 'Am I there yet' lol.

You do realise how many comments of 'keep going, nearly there' you're going to get from mile 1 onwards!

Hello Tiptoes. How's it going over in 2?

30/03/2012 at 14:06

What's that smell?? Oh I see a number two has dropped in

sorry - it's Friday

Born North, lived South now in the middle - living in Loughborough - which is very depressing for a slow plodder!

So here it is - have decided not to run as a greyhound in a bobble hat but will be disguised a a gey haired short arsed woman - I may look like this at mile 17 only redder, more knackered and probably looking a bit more miserable - I also don't intend to have yourraceday.co.uk embazoned across my knees

Hi Angela. I don't have you on my list? Have you been allocated a group? If not then you are welcome to join us, but I don't want another group to be looking for you if you are on their list.

SuperCaz

30/03/2012 at 15:53

DL, are you going to be in the same charity vest?

Angela McClelland 2

30/03/2012 at 15:57

Hi SuperCaz,

Yes, I think... is this group 3? I got an email from Sister Bad Habit with a link to here.

It was some time ago, sorry for my slowness (been away for work). Maybe I was dropped from the list due to inactivity

SuperCaz

30/03/2012 at 15:59

Ah, OK. She didn't let me know. Welcome, and you are on the Magic Spreadsheet now. Look forward to seeing you at Mudchute.

SuperCaz

30/03/2012 at 16:00

Actually I take that back. You were on the original list but somehow got missed off my spreadsheet. Sorry, my mistake.

Angela McClelland 2

30/03/2012 at 16:01

No worries. Those magic spreadsheets can be tricky things

SC hello
DL lol
Hope everyone is well.
Reading half for me this weekend then one more Long Run

Angela McClelland 2

Good luck at Reading Tiptoes! It's a great race I hear.

Has everyone got another long run on for next weekend? Had my last one down for this week... but the training plan that Runner's World mailed out today has one more for next Sunday

.

Am doing Forest of Dean Trail Half Marathon on Sunday. Should be good weather for running

Angella, that probably depends on your definition of 'long', how many marathons you've run already, how fast you are.... This weekend is my last really long run. Next Sunday's is borderline long to my mind, but the last 6 will be at marathon pace so still a toughie I suppose.
