I am almost certain I will come in last but who cares, the fact that I did it will be enough for me.

TISM 'Brilliant move, Tel!! A big step forward, and sure to be fun, however you do. Guaranteed PB! Don't worry about coming in with no one behind you, I regard it as a noble service to all other runners who might be more worried about being 'last' than I am ever am....lol Have a great weekend....' added 20th Sep 2008

kizzi10000 'go for it! I have registered but not run yet. Not one near me, so I'm waiting until I'm at mums to do the Basingstoke one. Haven't got a recent 5k time. Nothing wrong with being last - I was quite miffed when I found out I wasn't at my first ever race (someone came in 15mins after me).' added 21st Sep 2008

Muffs 'It takes guts to be at that start line. There are so many others that just don't bother. Well done. It doesn't matter wether you come first or last the great thing i've found about running is everyone is there to support each other. Good luck mate i'll be routing for you. I'm sure you wont be last anyway.' added 22nd Sep 2008

eclipse 'Thanks guys & Gals, I will give it my best and that is all I can do, either way around I just cant wait, I am like a kid waiting for Christmas, I know my trainer "Simon" will be having kittens when he finds out but this is also for him to show what he has managed to do for me. Matt, have you ever thought of training for the Badwater, it would take some years and some impresive stats but hey, wat is life for if not to dream ;o) http://www.badwater.com/reg.html Tel' added 22nd Sep 2008

andy_bee 'Hey - well done - big step entering a race, but you'll LOVE it regardless of where you finish, because you are PART of it and not a spectator in life !' added 23rd Sep 2008
