Ex-pat Scot Aug 2008 11:49am, 15 Aug 2008 275 posts	Quote Pin Ex-pat Scot I've been thinking about this for a while. Unfinished business, after the atrocious apocalyptic conditions from last year. I'm in! [not yet cleared it with senior management, but it's my goal race after Mablethorpe marathon 14 Sept].

I sent off my application yesterday - what a bargain at £16 including a place to sleep. Anyone doing the Hastings marathon the next day as well? Makes for a decent last training weekend before the Christmas 'recovery' period.
