Less than 3 hours to kick off now. I've managed to do 3 months of training completely injury free and last w/end on a light jog, I screw my ankle! Hopefully it should be OK today and I'll stick some painkillers down my neck before race time to be sure.
I'm hoping for less than 2 hours so as long as the ankle holds up and this stupid cough doesn't affect anything, I should be OK.
Good luck NW! :54:
Good luck. I've started running a bit lately but cannot imagine ever being able to run that far.

Good luck buddy, you aiming for a time?
...Good Luck NW, I hope you remembered to change the time to BS, otherwise your time will be awful.. :dft012:
:clap_hands: :018: :54:
Good luck and great job and just have fun!!!
:beer: :beer: :beer:
Thanks for the good luck wishes.
I managed to do it in 1hr 47 mins so I was very happy at the end. I did manage to get seriously waylaid by the pub on the way home though. I know they say you need to carb load before and after a run but I'm not sure if beer counts? Oh well, it helped numb the pain!
Congratulations Mr NW sir.
I have heard that beer is essential to aid the recovery process so hopefully no damage done there :beer:

1hr 47mins! Good time sir.
Get any decent goodies after the race? Free tshirts and stuff?
I read in Runners' World that beer is packed with carbs and micronutrients good for runners, so :beer: :beer: :beer:.
A good time indeed Imperial White...well done....take it the ankle held out?
We are the whites
I got through it yesterday but it wasn't so good today! I've been to the docs as my foot was in agony and I've got to go for an x ray in the morning as she thinks I may have a fracture in my metatarsal when i injured it the weekend before this one! Hopefully not as it means 6 weeks out of action and I was looking forward to getting back to playing football. Ironically I'd stopped playing before the run in case I injured myself.

I was only drinking isotonic beer so it was fine!
