Who's up for it this year?

Now rebadged BUPA I have recieved my number and for the first time my first name is also printed on it just in case I forget who I am.

Dave J said he will be cheerleading at Cannon Hill Park section which is around 9 miles in and just before the big climb to the finish, hopefully the organisers have sorted out the start this year as it was slower than getting through BCFC turnstiles (waiting for a repost to that).

Are Birmingham worth going through the turnstiles for nowdays?Gone are the likes of Scotsman Kenny Burns,Welshmen Terry Hennessey,Trevor Hockey and Englishmen Fred Pickering and maybe an even  a young Trevor Francis.Are the " good times ".

Quite true Peter, I stopped going regularly when they upped the standard admin fee from a fiver...and we didn't have to sit down either. Joys of the long shooting Tony Towers and 'was that a foul that Alberto Tarantini did off the ball? Entertainment? definately.

Im running Derek, hope to see you there buddy!

Hi Adrian...you're alive!!!!

Great to hear from you, what colour/number are you? as I think they are starting differently this year. I'm an Amber and 3368, you can't miss me as we all have our names on the race cards this year

I'll be cheering you all on in Cannon Hill Park, near the station (parkrun central). Good luck everyone!

Thanks Dave, fogive me if I don't stop and chat I'll probably have other things on my mind...If you can hold out a toasted teacake that would be most welcome.

If you're anything like me at Chester, Derek, with 4 miles to go you'll be happy to have a pitstop, but hopefully you'll keep on trucking through!

It might be difficult to keep the teacakes toastie, but I should have some sort of goodies, if you get to me quick enough;)

Thanks for that Kathryn...you up for a man hug Dave?

Erm... how about a jelly baby?

Watch for a red bowl around mile 9, everyone - jelly babies and fruit pastilles! (Hugs extra)
