after seeing everyone doing marathons this weekend, I got an email from Brighton Marathon begging me to come back.

Clicky click! 2018 is a long way away!

(I am sure to get a ballot entry to London next year now!)

😃. I am deffo tempted now, spurred by others here.

I am hoping I can persuade at least two others here to take the plunge, mentioning no names, just follow my eyes 😇

Yep, you are bound to get them both 🙂

Great! 😀 We can use our thought waves to draw in "the others" 😎

I like a couple of those on Ju's Endurance Life series, the Ones at level one or two that is. Juicy Ju jumped straight in at level five! 😱 Thud 😁

Oh, well done Ben! I agree, all this marathon talk has been very inspiring hasn't it but not to be taken lightly! I am planning on at least another HM before I even entertain the possibility of one day....maybe...going for the biggy!🙂

Sandra. I have done two half m's. I found the second one easier.

I am saying all this from the comfort of the injury couch mind you 😃

I did the full HM distance twice before the day of the race and the race itself was definately the 'easiest' ...but a full marathon is er, running that twice and my brain can't quite get there yet!

Must be good to feel wanted!!! Sounds like you will have lots of company. Hopefully you get London too - can always defer.

Paul thinks I am but I'm not so sure!!! It would mean summer training! My blooming thigh still playing up getting annoyed with it now have done lots of rollering tonight as have race on Saturday! 😕

Another race! Oooh fab! Well not so fab if you are hurting I don't suppose. It's a bit of a worry isn't it. I am similarly afflicted. As soon as race day approaches we go to pot. Your thigh, my heel. We're dropping to bits.

Well... if that's the way to eventually win in the London ballot (the chances seems to roughly on par with getting the main prize in the Euro Millions!), I shall have to consider signing up as well!

Ooh, well done! It was a bit grim though - I was sunburned just cheering everyone on! We were lucky with the 10k because we were back by the time it started heating up but it was sooooo warm.

Out of idle curiosity...how quickly do public places sell out for the Brighton Marathon?🙂
