I'm out :-( just sent the email now

I'm so gutted :-(

ITB didn't settle down and even though its pain free its about as tight as it can possibly be there's not a chance of doing any sort of distance without doing damage

ooooh bad luck Monkex - what a gutter!

You must know you've done the best thing though? Once I'd stopped the mental torture of "can I, can't I" and realised that actually I couldn't it was a relief in a weird way - which isn't to say I don't wish I was still in - and I can work on making things right for next year.

Big hugs though

oh no sorry to hear some of you have had to pull out :-(

I need some advice - I have done all my long runs in compression tights. It is going to be hot on Sunday, but do I still wear the tights or shall I wear shorts? hmmmm

I've just had my Tesco delivery and can tell you that Fetchpoint will have (at the very least)

72 Jaffa cakes
375 jelly babies
32 flapjacks
40 brownies
8 cans of fat Coke

If you watch the course video, look out for a pedestrian crossing / traffic lights at about mile 19. We'll be on your right on a traffic island (cos we need something to tie the banner and balloons to!)

Sorry to hear of late withdrawals :-( gutting...

Eva I'd go for shorts even if you've trained in tights, as long as you're used to running in them and they're not new kit.
