18847 and BLUE start sometime after 9.45AM on 17th April 2005.
My long and winding road to FLM is almost at an end ... I recieved the last Marathon News magazine last night and read it with my heart in my mouth and tears welling in my eyes.
They tell you what to do, expect and where to go. You get shown the course and it takes up 5 sides of A4 at which point you go - Oh help it's a long long way!
I now have the official piece of paper to collect my number - this year it WILL happen! Last year I refused to open this magazine as I had defered and couldn't look so it was all new.
Awesome!
I will cherish every moment as I won't be back for some time - no more marathons for me until I can run them properly and under 4hrs.
My heart is beating rapidly as I type this - perhaps it's the memory of reading the magazine, the memory of getting the "you're in!" magazine, the memory of Paula running a world record time or maybe it's the thought of physio .. oh help now!!
BYE!!!

I got the mag. and it took me a good hour to sit and read it, I think actually have the mag. makes it all to official for me and i start to get nervous about it. I know once we are out there though we will have a great day.
We can do this, right?
Great isn't it? Still brings a lump to my throat and I've done it three times.
I'll be deferring too :o(
