Wishing you the run of your life at the Yorkshire marathon this weekend. I hope you have a great time. I know you've done all the hard work now is the time for the pay off. I wish I could be there with chocolate cake at the end.

I've just put a proof of the 'support poster' up on a fresh post because this forum doesn't let you add photos to comments on somebody else's posts.

I don't envy you at all in terms of what you face on Sunday but I am sure you will both do great.

I wonder how Tomas is doing ? A mixture of nerves and excitement I would think.

I dont know whether I could ever do a Marathon, tbh. Not just having the physical and mental strength to complete it but also the training and preparation would tip me over the edge as I am a complete faffer when it comes to actually getting myself prepared enough to get out of the door without the constant check lists going on in my head ! :-)

I am the Mistress of Faffidge ! :-) xxx

Thank you sooooo much RFC.

Race report to follow. But for now: Amazing race. Great crowd lining the streets of York and the roads in the countryside, loads of cheers and calling out the runners' names. I must have high five'd at least a hundred children and accepted gummy bears from a dozen kind strangers (plenty more offers, but there's a limit to how much I could eat). Beautiful weather. And the run/walk worked perfectly, 2:35 for the first half and 5:09 for the full. What more can anyone wish for? It was my most enjoyable race ever, so super chuffed. And, as they say, the pain goes away but the pride lasts forever.

A couple of great posters from along the route: "running: because football and rugby only requires one ball", "you kick ass-phalt", and the best "Go Tomas! Go Miles_Yonder" on the fence of our very own c25k'er turnturle's farm.
