Never ever thought that starting C25k nearly 2 years ago would lead to this.

I'll be looking out for you! There are only 58,000 of us this year so you should be easy enough to spot with that strip
So just like a really really big park run then Adam. Appreciate all the tips you've been giving me You have good race too
Yeah - a parkrun with a few extra runners. Mind, I don't think I know of any parkruns that start on the motorway. Someone mentioned to me that they have moved the finish line back a couple of feet or so when compared to parkrun, but I don't believe them.
I assume that the organisers will have arranged for you to have a colour co-ordinated run number to go with your vest. You'll be up in the orange section just behind the elite runners. In that case, be careful and don't go off too fast. Mo Farah will find it embarrassing when you sprint past him. Show the guy a little respect.
You'll be great. Have fun.

It's like the lead up to Christmas. It's so exciting, the getting out the kit, the sleepness night before and most importantly the main event. The post run meal will be very yummy!!
I know Vixchile Feel like a 6 yr old and not a 61 year old grandma. Have checked and rechecked kit and planned all meals for weekend Also running mini GNR with grandchildren on Sat so need to not get carried away with eating before Sun But come sun afternoon no food will be safe
