Vote Steve in First TImer

Brrrrr! SO cold!! So ... if you win what are you going to do to change running for the better for the rest of us?

Hmmm... well I think I could provide a valuable insight to runners everywhere into exactly how feasible it is to chat up French women whilst trying to run a marathon... Valuable research, I'm sure you'll agree!

Sarah humm I was in Whitby on the weekend and they had snow!!

Bacon obviously you will be concentrating on being focused and completing your goal not the hot french totty around you!!

oh and  not sure why just liked it!!

Tigs - I'll do my best... no promises! 

Sarah - Ah... I won't tell you who I support then... I've only just got to know you and it's too early to upset you!

I reckon it's a great idea and, as I said on another thread, I tend to speed up if I see a pretty girl ahead... If I line up enough along the route, I think I can crack sub 3 

Christmas smilies for all  had to clear my cache before they appeared

Best of luck with the vote - been so nice chatting to everyone

RRR - definitely up for that - sounds like great fun and a fab way to have a reunion!

Do it, do it, do it - TR24 is amazing.

So, bacon boy - with the minutes ticking away I just wanted to say well done on a fantastic thread. I wish you the best of luck for the final decision and hope to see you in the not so distant future.

This morning is turning into one big 26.2 love in - sickening isn't it

Thanks Malcs, you guys have been great. So, so pleased I entered and got the opportunity to meet you guys 

Haha more sickening than a whole crate of mince pies and five pints of cream  we love it really

Ok you have me thinking now....my first guess would be wednesday, followed by Leeds and then nots forest/barnsley, or maybe palace, we dont like them much at the moment, and then there is chelsea whove relegated us in the past and.....god the list goes on....do we actually like anyone???

I dont let football get in the way of friendship, football is important, but not that important . Glad you got the santa faces working!

Been lovely to get to know you over the last week. Good luck,x

Good luck Steve. Your son is a lucky guy!

Sarah - I am a happy Hammer - at least you didn't list us in the first list of enemies haha!

Yes, got there in the end! 

Lovely getting to know you too - I'm sure we'll all keep in touch on here, regardless of the result... which I hope they hurry up with. Patience is not one of my virtues  Good luck! x

Jen - Thank you, that's really sweet of you  I feel like I'm the lucky one - he is such a fantastic kind and I'd do anything for him... Hope I get this so he can show me off in the mag in "show and tell"!

Best of luck to you too - hopefully see you both in Paris!

Eeek! So what do I do now??!

*fantastic son, I meant!!

RRR  - I know! We're going to have to find a new hobby now! I'll probably run about 70 miles next week just for something to do 

Well ... just think how far we could all run if we spent all the previous forum time, running! I reckon I'd end up in Moscow or somewhere within the week!

Would probably be a bit warmer there!!

....thankyou for reminding me....it was your fault that we were relegated in 2009

im retracting my support!

Only kidding, like I said, i love my football, but there are more important things in life!

I may be a little blonde and of the dizzy variety at times, but the TR24 running 24hrs yep got that, camping in tent yep got that, missing where the celebratory drinks come in??

Sarah I used to live in Whitby for three years!  not the best place to live that's for sure!!

Bacon I'm really glad you made it to the 'judges house's' not only have you earned your place as a runner and a team player, you also earned yourself a nickname!!

Looking forward to hear your Essex squeals all the way in Derby when you find out you get in!!!
