Yep, getting closer now (equal parts nerves and excitement). I'm no. 275 by the look of things.

See you en-route Manhar if you dont make it. I spent race day last year in hospital with a blood clot in my leg,so it will be good to make it to the start line this time. I'd be happy with 4hrs 45. ( race number is 3 )Originally Posted by Mountain Goatess
The entry list is out! We have our numbers! :w00t:
999 runners....only 168 ladies!
16 days to go!
(nice to see Al Fowler on the list!)
Hope you make it Manhar!
I'm no. 890. I had the last number last time and thought it was an omen I would be last! ha ha! I wasn't! :thumbup:
Last time I did this was pre baby in 2008 and I was worried I would even get to the cut offs in time...I did! :thumbup:
This time I am hoping to knock a few minutes off every section and get in between say4.30-4.45.
(In my dreams I would love a 4 hourer! lol lol lol!!! A girl's gotta dream!)

Due to house move, I'm not getting in nearly enough training ! Might struggle.

Be optimistic and go for it MG, my best and only time was 4h 32m in 2009, be surprised if i get near that, did 36 miles on saturday and got stronger towards the end, that's all i've been doing this year though, long, slow distance and climbing. It's all training for the Old Counties Tops and ultimately the Lakeland 50.Maybe I am being too optimistic...but that's a good sign! :thumbup:

I just almost had a heart attack when I thought I wasn't in then realised I was looking at the men's list! I'm 963, only one from my club (male or female)! Am really looking forward to it but also nervous as hell.
