Hi all, hope you're all well.
I'm disabling email notification on this as I've started a new job and my mail box is filling up with notifications - you're such a busy lot of bees! :-)
I'll check in from home occasionally to keep up with you all.
Take care

'Ello Peeps,
So sorry I've neglected you all - and this is just a quick post coz LMH keeps telling me off for not posting about the mara!! (Hi LMH)
Anybody racing this weekend? Thinking of you all and sending go faster vibes.
I've had a manic couple of weeks. The weekend before the mara my Dad got taken into hospital for an emergency operation so I charged off to Southend and stayed with Mum until the Tuesday evening. No sleep and knackered. Work Wed n Thurs then back to Mum on Fri. London Sat and the expo and then it was Sunday - what a glorious day. As soon as I opened the curtains Sunday morning i knew i was in trouble. Beautiful blue sky - big yellow sun - who trains in those conditions all through the winter eh??
so 6hrs 1min 18secs went by and then I finally made it to the finish line. I had sunstroke and the sickness didn't pass until 5pm on Monday night!! Only muscle pain was my quads which are ok now but I do have an infection in my big toe which is really really painful. It's all swollen and throbbing! (who's laughing). Finally obeyed LMH's nagging :-) and went to the quack to be told "take these antibiotics for 7 days - if it gets better it's an infection deep in the toe, if it doesn't get better then you've broken it"!! Great eh? Did it at mile 7 when I slipped on a water bottle and stabbed my toe into the ground on recovery.
The atmosphere at FLM is fantastic though and I had a great day. I won't do London again but my goals now are to improve my speed (2hr half would be good - ha! only 28 minutes to lose there then!) and then another mara in about 1 year - aiming to beat the 5 hour mark. Watch this space and we'll see if it happens.
Meldy: It was great to see you at Mile 17 amongst the support crew peeps - you all did a great job and thank you for the Neurofen - they certainly helped.
I will read back and see how everybody else did but not until the weekend so congrats go to CDK and Beanz - i know they finished and had a good, if tiring, race.
Love you all

Hi everybody, long time no speak - sorry about that, had a few issues to deal with over the last couple of weeks so..... I'm here now albeit briefly.
RHG - you go girl - have a great race and don't leave it as long as i have to report back. Thinking of you.
Who else is racing this weekend? LMH?? Mark?? TB?? anybody else? I haven't had a chance to read back so not sure what's happening but good luck to all racers this weekend - have a great time.

Beanz - fantastic race report - well done - it was damned hard work in that heat and I admire your staying power. sorry we didn't meet up over the weekend - had to get back to Dad on the sunday who, incidentally, has started his recovery now so panic over for the moment.
ST - good on ya - sub 5 hours - I'm very jealous :-)
Love to you all - have great weekends and I'll try not to stay away so long.
