Good luck to all the LUNATICS doing the London Marathon

[Hiney]

On Sunday

I take my hat off to you all.

Thousands of people (me included) think about entering but end up watching it from the sofa - fair play to those who do the work and get round, raising bucket loads of money for worthy causes

Thanks! My wife and kids can't even be bothered to turn out and wait at the finish line for me.

I think I am all ready and raring to go. We'll see. Vaseline, plasters and especially designed shorts at the ready.

If I have a heart attack half way round it was nice knowing you all.

what you are running the marathon and 26 weeks pregnant?

I take my hat off to you madam ( if I had a hat)

Best of luck and if you are raising funds for Anastasia, I hope people are very generous.

good luck indeed.

not for me i'm afraid, my bad ankle got worse rather than better, but there's always another marathon.

my top tip (only do this if supremely confident you won't stop):

about 1k from the end gather your thoughts and strength, have some water and ensure a sprint finish. it's the bollocks!

and DO NO forget to micropore tape your nips, forget vaseline this will not work!

It's Paddy! The wife was intending on taking part, I have my doubts how genuine her intention was but the baby changed that. She can't even make it to the finish line to meet me so not sure she would have made the whole marathon.

Yes it's for Anastasia/Neuroblastoma Society. We have nearly £9,000, raised so far. My company are going to match the sponsorship as well - we've done really well.

Good luck by the way...

And no, I wouldn't consider entering either race.

 

[Seagull Stew]

Good luck to you all.

I'll be waving you guys along in my Albion top from my small green balcony after about 9 1/2 miles, just after you guys turn left along Salter Road after going past the back of the print works!

Oh no!!!

Entries are closed for this year!! maybe next year!

 

[Tooting Gull]

I've never thought about entering, but the very best of luck to those that have.

I seem to remember last year it was the morning after Pavilionaire's stag do, a few of us had crashed in Blackheath and were awoken at 8am by some BBC helicopters - which didn't go down well at all.

Just seen Paddy on the TV. He's right beside Steve Redgrave wearing white, blue and yellow.

Getting wet. Ha.

Nipples greased.

*I'm not running the marathon or anything - just thought it sounded like a fun thing to do.

Well done Paddy. I am hoping to do a marathon either next year or the year after myself and I have now got a target to aim at.
