Karl C

Pammie

i kinda entered last night too

Karl C

Andy Hibbins

I'm in

gmike

Karl,

I've booked a room at the same Travelodge but went for Saturday / Sunday.

I'm thinking travel down Saturday lunchtime in time for the fetish ... I mean PASTA party Saturday evening and then book the room for Sunday to shower and relax/collapse before travelling home, as the checkout time would be while we're running if not.

I may have the option to stay with friends in Brighton but I've booked anyway just in case

Mike

Karl C

OK, I did have that thought as well - but think I will just jump in the sea at the end...

Karl C

Just have to sort time of work for that weekend but hopefully should be no problem

JBD

Ahem....I have entered this marathon on the basis that it my old home town and a good reason to get all the family cheering me on through me old stamping ground.....no travelodge for me, home comforts and a full english breakfast, jog to the start, quick few hours and home for tea and medals !

Stress Head

Just booked the Travelodge too for Saturday & Sunday.

A double room in the hope that Pete might be talking to me by then or survives another marathon build up with me!!!!!!

I'm in!

The main factor is that it has got to be less than the £8 a pint that I had to pay in Paris this year.

Perhaps just this one and hopefully Budapest in October if Andy Frith is still up for a non EU country - the beer is definitely cheaper!

Where is Big Phil?
Don't tell him where we are staying!!!

boabmac1

Macmillan and wife ( and kids ) are in the Travelodge!

Lets get this party started - 290 days to go!

Im still interested in Budapest 2010 Bob, talk to you soon about that one. Any other takers?

We would love to join you all on this one, but will have to wait and see. Probably drive down and support you all, sounds like a great Benfleet weekender.

The chef from Donatellos is mentioned in Runners World this issue, so should provide suitable nourishment.

.. so if the finish is lower than the start that makes it a DOWNHILL marathon

First forum post..

Karl, add me to your list please

In Brighton last week.. forgot how many hills there are! I'm mad but I'm so gonna do this. Oh, and Donatello's is great but they said we only need to book a few weeks before

(Note: Runners World Forumites currently suggesting booking the upstairs for RW Forumites.)

Hmm....26.2 miles...blooming long way.
It was alright when I was training.
Did my first run in almost two weeks this morning.
A steady unimpressive 5 miles.
I'll be back....soon....ish !

Stress Head

Go Tracy!!!!..........see, not even a week has passed and you are already doing nutty things!!!!

Sarah

Karl C

yep, but I do think she has help...

Stress Head

Probably in the same position as Pete...........if ur going anyway..........what the hell.......may as well join in!!!

Anyway Karl, you should know living with 3 women, that if we don't want to do something then we won't!!!!!

TracyB

Hi Sarah, didn't you know it was my idea originally? (Wink here.. can't find a simple emoticon when I want one). Phoned him and said 'do you think I can do this, it's just come up on Runners World..' . He suggested I might not have the time to train, then posted on BRC, got people signed up before I even got home! Lucky for him there were still places left by the time I got on my PC! Perhaps I'll let him defend himself....

Hi Karl, I don't need help.. I am mad as a box of frogs anyway (apparently) :kermit: But Brighton's my fave place, so it fitted in well for me (plus already put in ballot for London so could do both yet!).

gmike

I was only after a dirty weekend in Brighton .. the old 'running a marathon' one works every time :love4:

Karl C

Just as a heads up, ref: Travellodge bookings :

I have just re-booked a family room for Saturday night, and Sunday night seperately and took advantage of their Saver rate for the Sunday night. Booked for £ 118 total, and then cancelled my flexible rate I had already booked for 2 nights for £ 146.

More money to spend on pasta !
