Stephen P - I think the FLM you see is very different to the one I did. Bear in mind I cheered you when you were at 22 miles and I was at 14 !! Good luck up there with the elite.
I think it sad no-one seems able to enter into lively debate, as opposed to destructive, with anyone who holds a different view to their's. I make no apology for feeling as I do and am perfectly comfortable that others do not concur.
Please feel free to criticise in any way you wish the races in which I participate - most of which are not to most people's taste but they are mine. I am big enough, old enough and ugly enough to know one size does not fit all but hoped others were not so precious they could not accept this and debate constructively. I was obviously wrong.

Third rejection in a row for me.  Which will mean I am definitely in for 2012 to celebrate my 50th. 
Jeannie not received anything yet - so still hope for her. |

As much as I REALLY enjoy running Marathons, FLM just doesnt rock my boat at the moment although I have had offers locally (charity etc) to run it, I WILL run it twice over 2 years lol BUT the 8 Full Mara's i've run so far I've really enjoyed (well sometime afterwards anyway)
At the end of the day, running a Full Mara is a MASSIVE achievement no matter what, i just find having a bit more freedom to run 26.2 miles more enjoyable and having knocked over 1hour off my 1st attempt others will see why
Good luck to those running FLM, I will watch from the TV, UNLESS i get a decent offer to run for a MASSIVE cause and all charitys are a great cause anyway
just my thoughts and feelings as I REALLY cant get upset or bothered about a knock back for FLM so with that said I'll NOT enter the club ballot for FLM as there's peeps out there more needy than me

| Hi to all, I have recieved my congratulations magazine so I am in. I have done London 5 times in the past but this was my 4th attempt to get in over the recent years. I have done a number of marathons over the years and think each one has special memories to me. Some good bits some bad. After my illness last year I have learnt to appreciate any run I do no matter what distance or place. I hope you all have success in whatever races you do. Peter |

hi Peter - I've already posted on another forum BUT I really am pleased for you being on the mend and also now having next years FLM as a great incentive for your future training
Good luck in all your future events I look forward to reading about them and the commando challenge sounds VERY interesting this weekend
good luck
