Support Group 4

IP - last night I has a dream that I went off for breakfast and it was 11.00am before we got to the start..which was in the middle of a street!

Nilli - I used iron on letters this time..the charity sent them with the vest

yes i am bad i know

why change now at approaching 54

I have ironed on my letters, had a minor cock-up with the first letter, but managed to fix it.

I have a wonky 'F' on the back of my vest, but other than that I am happy with it, and it only cost me £2.35!!

Hello all

Nikki - LOL...was sooo tired yesterday!

I don't think I'll be on here much over the weekend so just want to wish xine267 good luck with Brighton on Sunday!

Thank you both! I'm starting to get a bit nervous, but am determined to enjoy it

Had my last chiro treatment and sports massage, last run yesterday, carb loading is in full swing (starting to feel like Regina in Mean Girls "biscuits/croissants/cupcake frosting are carbs, right?") and will pack my bag tonight. All that's left is to run the thing!

Not sure if I'll get a chance to come back online until after the race, so if I don't - everyone have a great weekend!

Make sure you all take it easy, no sneaking in one last long run (too many of my friends have done this ahead of Brighton and now have all kinds of scary niggles that require physio tape and prayers to get them round).

One of my friends sent this to me, I read it (substituting 'London' for 'Brighton') and it made me tear up a bit! But also made me feel really confident and positive, hopefully it will do the same for you:

golden rule now is

if unsure then rest

prepare your selves - sleep nicely, eat and drink and fuel up

get their fresh and injury free

you cannot change ure fitness now

Woohoo!!!  As a latecomer supporter TP has allocated me to this group and I can't wait!

<waves frantically to everybody>

Good luck for Brighton tomorrow to Xine and VikW. Can't wait to meet you all next Sunday and to supporting our lovely runners.  Pom poms at the ready.

Hiya Soupy!

Aha, the Dragon who Slurps has beat me to it - I was dragged out of bed at ungodly hour to RD at parkrun.  There were hail showers and a howling gale, we're on the Prom, it was fecking freezing!

I'd like to make it clear that Soupy is taking on this role in addition to her Dragon in Charge of Beer duties .... she can multi-task!  She also comes complete with her own tapir who will be appearing on the day.

As you were, I need another coffee to defrost.
