It was nice to do a race in a Fetch shirt for a change, I usually run in my Dagenham vest so I get shouts from those I know but don't normally meet people I don't know and don't get any random 'go fetch' shouts. Helen Decker was out on the course supporting today which was good to see too. She was running with a girl for a few miles saying really positive things which helped me out of a sticky patch. I could have done with her from mile 9 onwards though!

AdminLiz Mar 2012 9:03pm, 18 Mar 2012 722 posts	0 AdminLiz I saw you knitting HB, but didn't know it was you....hubby said he is thinking of taking knitting up for when he has to wait for me. Hubby is grey haired with a walking stick, I was all in blue, with fetch buff round my neck, having a cuppa after they had set off. Memento was great, another reason I was disappointed in last weeks Colchester "quality goody bag" Apparently there were 361 starters with 356 finishing. Hopefully I'll get to run another year, but wont be next year as already got things booked.
