Lombster - as predicted, I missed #themerge. How was it? Any sign of the red mob coming down Preston Drove when you got to the park? 
 
Not overly eventful. I was probably in the middle of the 'elites' and there must have been the same number of reds ahead of me at #themerge.

Was glad to get off to a good start from Withdeam Park but there was absoultely no atmosphere at that start. Really surreal for a marathon.

DJ8,

 

On Sunday I somehow ran 2:58:58.

 

I am still in shock...

 Great time Neil. I did pass you a few times on the out and back bits (obviously you were coming back as I was still going out!). I did shout out as I remembered your number (plus you had 'Neil' on your top which helped!).

Hey lombster, I followed you for first 10 miles (well miles 1-9)
You had lombster written on you back and a massive wig.
Well done you beat me by 6 mins!!! Damn

 Cheers Paul. The wig did come off after 7/8 miles as was getting way too hot!

Anymore?

 Count me in. I was going to give it a miss this year but seems as my Mum has already entered I may as well too.

Extremely saddened by the passing of Sam and the events in Boston. Really put a downer on what should be such a positive event.

Lick my Balls is all I can think of but that doesn't make much sense.

I did a quick google and that was the best I could come up with!

I've packed and re-packed and still done another check of my kit to make sure I've got eveything. Worringly my trainers didn't go in until the re-pack!

Leaving for Brighton at midday so hopefully be at the expo around 1.30. If last year's expo is anything to go by though I imagine I'll just collect my number and that'll be it!

Looking forward to catching up with some of you at 4pm. Can't believe how quickly it's come around this year. Like last year, I need to be back in town for 5 for a pasta party with my charity.

Good luck to everyone running tomorrow and thanks to those not running but have given us good wishes.
