Oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God...

My thoughts exactly. Good luck to all my fellow runners. See you on the other side.

Oh God oh God oh God oh God oh God...

I was a bit like this last night, then this morning, but now I'm ready. I think

Off to the station in a sec.

Good luck everyone, and non runners, thanks for your support. I'm #12981 in a limo yellow top.

I'm terrified, my foot is hurting this morning, I don't think I'll complete it, but I'm so stubborn I'll run till I drop

 

[Triggaaar]

Superb effort from the firemen, the Rhino, the Tiger. And the real hero's PUSHING yes PUSHING disabled kids in wheelchairs. Think I saw Richie. All at the 1 mile.

Brilliant that the app is tracking everyone from 10k. I shall be able to look out for all those who I've harvested bib numbers from.

It's odd not running this year. I sort of want to be out there, but spectating is fun too!

 

[jimhigham]

Sat in Pret a Manger tracking Mrs. H. The 4 hours is on. Time to head off to the halfway point.

To all of you who read this once you get back from running, I do not know how you do it.

saw about 4 Albion shirt runners.

Well done to everyone that ran today.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Well done to you all.

We handed out 20 bags of jelly babies, and hundreds of cut up oranges.

Saw a fair few ALbion shirts, as well as REMF shirts, including Kev (palace) and Barrel of Fun running for Whoopsadaisy.

Congratulations to you all.

Now go and have a bath, and a drink.

My watch time is 3:56:53...not sure what my official time is I can't get the site to blinkin load...basically ran around according to my plan, overall did very well...had to walk in 4x1 minute burts in the last 4 miles but overall quite happy with my first ever sub-4 time...thanks to everyone who came out, or gave their support on here!

I reckon you done it! Your watch should not be out by 3 minutes. Well done! I've been following your posts on here and I'm genuinely pleased for you. Excellent work, now have a beer!

Yeah thrilled mate, thanks for all your advice...I was thinking about the faster miles at 10-14 but I was slightly behind at that point, so they caught me up more than anything. Think my halfway time was 1:57...I feel like I did a very good 2nd half, my miles were fast (some were 8s or 8.30s) and I didn't have to walk until Mile 22...at that point I walked for a minute, and probably a minute at each mile marker after that...except 26, powered home to the finish! Beat last years time by about 12 minutes and have broken the 4 hour barrier...very pleased. The crowd were BRILLIANT again today as always!
