    Yes, shockingly I've even managed to complete a couple of them.

    I'm sick of this thread because in refusing to accept reality, in my view it is just making the entire sport look myopic and runners selfish and self-obsessed. Someone above implied the organisers might have a bit too busy to make a statement. Surely making a statement is one of the exact things they should have been busy doing, or does everyone just think that keeping the spouses/partners/siblings sat at home and worried without any official information perfectly acceptable behaviour. Well, I don't and I'm sorry if anyone finds that offensive.

    Nice to find that in in this community of iconclasts and individualists (sic), when push comes to shove there's always critcism for those who don't toe the party line.
