    Are you nervous? I'd be terrified, but then I can't exactly run a long way :D

    I'll be cheering you on from the comfort of my sofa!

    Good luck, i have a friend thats done it and loved it. If you have friends or family watching i'm told that there is a brilliant spot on the Isle of dogs called cold harbour (or mud shoot ?) its near a pub and food and a band.

    Oh, the rhinos are funny - they're good runners too! What sort of time are you hoping for?

    Hoping for 6.5 hours .... I know its really slow but I will be walking most of it as I had a knee injury and I know it will play up if I jog. As long as I complete it I don't care how long it takes !! I haven't done that much training really ... could use the excuse of being a single mum and having ds to look after makes it difficult to get out running, but really its probably cos I spend way too much time on here :o:o

    I actually don't think 6.5 hours is that slow! It takes me that long to walk round the White Rose Centre on a Saturday :D

    Good luck swetie. Will be thinking about you.
