Good luck guys....exciting stuff !!!!

O.K...my geek time......

Miles run - 901

Longest run - 35 (Crawley Track)

5 marathons including 2 ultras

1 double mara weekend - Bewl Water then 3 Forts

113 days running

10 Ib lost

Phew........no wonder I'm a jibbering wreck !!

But hey, I've pretty much enjoyed every minute of it all but running is like that as even when you are having a tough time, once you've finished, it's forgotten. .

Hi Safer,

Yes - would be cool to meet up before getting into the pen. I am not wearing the UK vest as really wanted an Irish one but due to crazy flag wearing / waving stuff that has gone on in Ireland over the past few years, there was sadly not one available. I have yet to decide what I am wearing as per normal, as really, haven't got a THING to wear!! 

Where are you and Douglas staying ??  I am in City Lodge.

Becca - many thanks for getting my hoped for time added to the list and also for your help in trying to get into the pasta party. You were right, running Comrades is bound to be easier than that ! I have decided that I just could not be bothered with it all and will just go with the flow when there. Am down to do the BF bus tour that day anyway where hopefully will get a decentish lunch then will just see what I can find in the evening.

I so want to join in with the geekyness and put up my stats but alas I am at work and do not have my lovely training book with me....will post laters...BUT I am able to say that I have lost over 10 pounds in weight which happened from April onwards. Looked abit scraggy there for a while but all good now.

This time next week eh ?????? And please God, let's have some warmth on our poor, sun starved, UK bods. 7 degrees here today on the South Coast !! 

Don't forget meeee.....D seeding - 50641 - 10.55.

...ooops...sorry - number 50641.

Bloody hell !!! I need to get with it. Sadly I can't get on here too much during the day and have just skimmed your posts. Will give them some proper attention at home later.

Jeez ther eis just so much to think about itsn't there ?? Not 'just' Comrades, but all the prep at home etc etc.......

Right - I am in Pen D on a 3.51 marathon. Would love to get a sub 11 and that is what I'm going for....so....10.50 with that 'cushion'.  First Comrades so am just making this up as I go along !

Just about over a chest infection. Bloody awful it was.

Thx Becca who has been in touch by e.mail and sorted me out on one or two things.

International drinkies Thursday

BF bus tour Friday
