    As we were on the DLR, I wondered where you would be in relation to where we were going - and as I was running through Docklands this morning, I was looking for you......but as I don't know what you look like, it was a bit of a fruitless exercise!

    Thanks for all the congrats guys - it is much appreciated! Entries open tomorrow for next years race :rotfl:

    That is great news about reaching your target Hypno.

    I am tempted to have a go next year for a personal challenge and raise money for Diabetes UK and for bowel conditions( my daughter suffers from both) I watched the highlights today and had the telly on from the start. Made me feel very humble listening to all those stories and personal reasons for running in the race.

    Any way i am waffling so am off. Congrats once again. x

    Oh yes :D

    I will apply for next year, but the chances of getting in are slim. But if I get a place I will definitely do it!

    I really enjoyed it - some bits more than others, obviously, but on the whole, it was a fantastic experience, and I would urge anyone physically able to do it, to give it a go. Once you have done it, NO-ONE can take it away from you!
