....I promised some forum friends that I would post this so they will recognise me at the HM tomorrow!

If they just look for the strange loopy looking person... that will be me:) Accompanied by my male entourage of course!!! Ha ha !!

This is my very, very favourite outfit..my first funky leggings and matching top... my big cap.. adorned with snail badge today.. and my lovely comfy socks.

I shall be wearing Team blue snail badge, courtesy of Runningroni ... all my other lovely snails will be there too courtesy of Dexy5 and aliboo70 xxx

Also thanks everyone for the massive support on here and in PMs. The love from you all will surely carry me along.

Many folk are running tomorrow in races all over the UK and beyond... we will run with them as we always do...!

PS

No replies necessary...:)

PPs

Yes davelinks they are the original one purple leg leggings! Just hoping they have not worn too thin at the rear!!
