Surrey Phil Apr 2015 12:16pm, 14 Apr 2015 826 posts	0 Surrey Phil I didn't catch a good look at the guy dressed as a bollard. Probably because he was hidden by the mile marker as I ran that section on the pavement. Saw the free hugs lady although I didn't oblige. There were a lot more runners this year. Any more, then the out-and-back sections may have to go in place of a one lap course, as in the VMLM. I'm sure any ideas and suggestions will be gratefully received by the Grounded Events team. They usually send an e-mail for feedback, so it any concerns as well as positives can be actioned.

Ouchling Apr 2015 12:23pm, 16 Apr 2015 266 posts	0 Ouchling Huge thanks to the Fetchie with the Jaffa cakes. I had no cheerer on -ers until near the finish line, so all kinds of mental boosts were most welcome. I was the sweaty incoherent one in a green t-shirt, trying to introduce herself as Lizling, but probably failing. I had a rubbish run, about 20 minutes slower than I was expecting. Way to sunny for me is my excuse - give me freezing drizzle any day! I didn't find the hell mile too bad though. It was the bit about 8 miles in where you run away from the seafront and double back again that I hated because I thought I might melt.

Surrey Phil Apr 2015 5:00pm, 18 Apr 2015 831 posts	0 Surrey Phil Did everyone enjoy this morning's highlights on Channel 4? Or more, did you spot yourself, family or friends? I failed to get on it for the third year running. Son and niece weren't shown at the mini-mile. We actually stood directly behind the start line for their races (wife was waving at all interviews being made) and still not on camera. Mustn't go on, otherwise I'll sound like a Z-list celebrity at next week's VMLM. Fancy dress next year might help!
