I'm in, first marathon for me, leaving my options open about whether it'll be the last. Reckon I'll really enjoy it but it's been a hell of a slog for the last few months.
There's a few others down to do it on the official running thread.

Ah but weekly The Geeks combined will happily cycle from Brighton to Morocco.
Not some piddling 26.2 miles. (he says in jest)
Largely on the pavement, probably.
Sometimes we have to take temporary traffic lights permanently set to red, out with us, just to cycle through them.

Personally, I prefer to ignore green lights and wait for the red light before proceeding further. If I can risk my life any further, I will.
Especially when I'm out for a run, I like to run along the road pretending I'm a car. I even make the sounds of an engine motoring along.
Always safer to run in the road, less likely to get hit by a cyclist

I'll be running the Brighton marathon for the rockinghorse appeal. My first one and hoping for 4hrs30mins
Add a knocky1 to that. Plan to do my fourth Brighton in three weeks time. Only set back is that I am sitting with elevated leg with ice on knee after locking a couple of minutes after finishing the Hastings Half 2 hours ago. Those downhills were calling me like sirens and I could not resist them. Already booked in with Sports Injury man and hope to get sorted. Quadricep tendonitis perhaps. Good day out all in all.

I've trained for 5 marathons but only run 4 as the NYC marathon was cancelled a couple of years ago.
2007 Berlin 3:20
2010 London 3:09
2011 Boston 3:20
2014 NYC 3:08 (PB at 46 years of age)
I'm aiming to complete the Major Series (Berlin, Boston, Chicago, London, NYC and Tokyo) within 2 years. Chicago in 2016 and Tokyo in 2017 hopefully.
Like many I was overweight (14.5 stone) and this was affecting my "active" lifestyle so I started running.

and me
Cracking set of times. Can only dream about such speediness
Thanks. There's a disproportionate amount of extra training I have to do to go from the 3:20 times to the sub 3:10s. It's definitely a law of diminishing returns.

Starting to look like the Grand National line up. No refusers or fallers I hope.
Hopefully not, I'll be the one with the sheepskin nose band.
