Sal's Bea - with sammys crew as babysitting!
Sammy's crew - DD1 - Natalie.....will be 6.5 months pregnant but more than capable of looking after little ones...

We'll know more on the day but rough plans for sunday are...

Lots staying overnight @ Travelodge Vicar Lane. Local peeps are coming in on the sunday morning - meet at Travelodge vicar lane 0745am....

Then onto race start point by 0830 for runners and will meet up again @ friends and family point in Millenium Square from about 1000onwards, until all runners are back.

Then to Travelodge to get showered/changed and off to Roundhay Park....

    There'd better be fish and chips on that finish line. Loads of salt n vinegar :T

    I think it's cheeleader's job to provide chippy dinners for the runners/walkers :D

    I knew it, they're going to re-open the roads before I finish......they're only closed for 2 hours :eek:
