Would anyone recommend a  website with suitable running beads that are compatible with Pandora beads.  I have looked at so many websites for a few hours and now don't know what to think.

I would like to buy one for one of my friends with Run  or 26.2 or 13.1 on the beads  There is a website in US called Inspired.Endurance.com which has these.  I just wondered if anyone had ever ordered some beads from them.  They aren't Pandora but the website says they are compatible although you can't tell the quality from a photo.  I don't wear this type of jewellry so don't know if this would be ok for a Pandora bracelet.  I went to a Pandora shop and they were horrified I had been looking on the internet even though they don't do them.  Argh.....

 I was looking for any recommendations.  Help. It won't be long until Xmas!

Just had to say not long until VLM now and I am getting excited about the race.

 It is getting hardwork fitting everything in with the training and I think my family might have nearly forgotton who I am!  LOL

.I am ready to taper now.

In 3 weeks we will be getting prepared for an early start to the big day.  I will be very happy with just under 5 hours so I will see you all there.

Hi Any advice now I am tapering and thinking about what to pack.

 What running gear should I take or should I take a few items as i have no idea what the weather will be like.  I have my trainers.

I have been running in vest and shorts throughout the training and planned to do this in NY until yesterday when I did 12m and up here in the north it was cold and my legs were red with it.  Should I take various items of clothing and decide on the day.!!  What else extra should I take for the start.  Everyone keeps telling me all sorts of stories and now I have  no idea. confused.com to say the least  any advice would be fab

This NY marathon in 2 weeks will be my first.

I have found the training much more difficult that I ever thought.  I work full time and have a family so at times I wonder what I am doing entering this race.  Then i have had injuries and illness which I didn't allow for.  I will be pleased just to finish it.  It will be a PB anyway..

See you in NY!
