1st October, who is watching the post for a magazine?

The time has come around again for the month of the London Marathon Ballot confirmations.

I’m not sure if I will be happy or worried if I get in but I will be watching the letter box all month.😀.

Who else put in for the ballot ?

Happy running, Rfc x

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10]

Good luck! Bit too early for me, and I think I’m unusual in that I don’t want to run that one!

[Realfoodieclub Graduate10 in reply to UnfitNoMore]

I go from never, never to entering the ballot 😂. Rfc x

[UnfitNoMore Graduate10 in reply to Realfoodieclub]

We are all so decisive, that’s the problem... lots here never running 10k, then never HM... and so it goes on.

Me! 😊😊😊

[TailChaser Graduate10]

Me too 😱 although as my body is yet to let me conquer a half I’m not so sure it was a good idea.

[Realfoodieclub Graduate10 in reply to TailChaser]

🤞

[backintime Graduate10]

fingers crossed for everyone

I might put in next year for 2021

[Realfoodieclub Graduate10 in reply to backintime]

Roll on April. 😀. Rfc x

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

I did in a fit of madness having watched it on tv! After running my HM recently I realise I would have to defer if I did get in - I’d have been hard pressed to run another km, let alone 21.1k more!! 😅😅

[Realfoodieclub Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

I’m feeling pretty much the same too 😀. Rfc x

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Realfoodieclub]

😅😅

[TailChaser Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

How many of us get caught up in the moment?! I reckon you could do it though, you seemed so at ease whilst you were training.

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to TailChaser]

I guess I didn’t find 21.1k too bad, but I’d need to slow down even more to run a fill marathon and I’m not sure there are enough winter hours in the day for training! 😅😅

[TailChaser Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

🤣 slowing down is my trouble for halves let alone full marathons. My family would starve 🤣

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to TailChaser]

Hahahaha!! 😅😅

[Tasha99 Graduate10]

Hehe, I say it every year, but here I am again waiting 😂😂😂😂. Rfc x

I am confident that I will never do a marathon. Not sure I would want to do a half marathon either, but I might someday. I’ve ran up to 15K before. But I think 10K is my marathon and the 13K mountain race in November will be my ultra marathon.

I have total admiration for everyone who trains for and run in Marathons. That’s total dedication.

I would never enter one but for some reason I like to leave it in the hands of fate with the ballot 😀. I to have total respect those who do. Rfc x

[Sammy-Lou]

Hi RFC good luck! I’m doing my first flat 10K Sunday ! Im planning on marathon in 2021 as I’ll be 55 and thought that a good goal for a special birthday!!

[Realfoodieclub Graduate10 in reply to Sammy-Lou]

Sounds like a plan to me, good luck for Sunday, remember the first rule of events is enjoy yourself. Rfc x

[Sammy-Lou]

Thank you! Will do!

I entered the ballot for London, but not expecting to get a place. Our running club is given 3 places, providing you were in the main ballot, you then get entered to the club ballot.

My husband ran London over 20 years ago, (when it was quite easy to get a place) and I felt then - 1 day, I’d like to achieve this! Now I’ve done a 1/2, I still want to say I’ve done a marathon!

Do we know when in Oct they start sending them out?

[Realfoodieclub Graduate10 in reply to Nikasa777]

I’m not sure when they go out, I have a feeling it is mid to late October. 🤞for you. Rfc x

[Katnap Graduate10]

I was silly enough to enter! 🐱 Katnap 🐱
