No London for me,no surprise there,so if the running is fine for me at that time, it looks like it Belfast for me. I don't mind,I then will have the full set of home countries marathons runs.

Hope some have been more fortunate, will be around for some training with you (touch wood)

Unlucky Donald. You may still be eleigible to apply for the club place, depending on how others get on...

Just been accepted to run for "Breakthrough Breast Cancer" in VLM 2012. I can feel the pain already......can't wait! Better get my backside in gear now.

Nice one Katfer,

Put me down for a tenner,a wee bit to start you off towards your target to raise,infact a £1 a mile as that's what my friends put down for me.

Lots of nice people to train with come Junuary.

Good on you.

Thank you Donald.

Can't wait for training to commence!

Great news Katfer. I'm happy to match Donald's offer, (sponsorship) to get you oot on that road. You will handle it, and the training, nae bother.

Brilliant katie xx

Just as a note of interest, if anyone that does not get into London wants to do a marathon on the following week then the Stratford (Shakespeare) marathon is on the following Sunday, its got a capacity of 1400 for the full marathon and 2300 for the half marathon, traditionally its been used as an overspill for the London Marathon.

A lot of people who dont get into London but want to continue training with their running partners enter it. Its pretty central, being close to Birmingham, Worcester, Cheltenham, Evesham and Warwick, they all within 30mins of Statford with good public transport links, so plenty of places to stay and lots to do for the whole family within a short distance of Stratford if you fancy making a long weekend of it.

If you do decide to go with the family and they are young, consider Warwick as ur base as Warwick castle if a fabulous place for young and old with mock medieval battles and Knights having jousting competitions

So excited for you katfer

If any other CRC member applied but was rejected for VLM 2012 please let me know asap as there is a club place up for grabs!

Club place to be drawn on Tuesday before training!

I'm raising money for Breakthrough Breast Cancer by taking part in 2012 Virgin London Marathon.
