What a perfect day for Brighton's first marathon... ouch my thighs hurt.
It's all over, the big day has come and gone and what an amazing day it was.

Such an honour and a privilege to meet the Brighton Marathon organisers
It was such an honour for me to be invited to the pre-marathon party at the Pavillion last night. I was truly blown away by the sheer determination and hard work acheived by the race directors and the whole BM team that have and as far as I know are still working around the clock to make this race possible. Steve Ovett gave a great speech albeit with a strong twang of Aussie accent which quite suited him. Tim Hutchinson gave me a giggle when he gave his speech he mentioned that when he first had the idea of holding the Brighton Marathon he put his thoughts to the local constabulary whose initial response was "are you having a laugh?"

Marathon nightmares and I'm a week too early.
I had a bad dream last night that it was Brighton marathon day and for some reason I had not paid my entry fee. The fee in my dream was £190 and I was in a panic to get to the bank with my credit card to pay. My father was present although not being very helpful and even less so when the bank told me that my credit card was out of date. It was 11am by this stage and the race had been going for two hours. I still had a plan that I could catch up with the runners but attempting to persuade the bank to pay my fee was clearly not going to happen.

Only 16 days left.... look after those bodies.
With only 16 days to go to the marathon, I am assuming that runners are being sensible enough to taper down and allow their bodies the essential rest and repair they need to enable them to get through the big day.

Blinded by my own salt
I'm training so hard right now, I'm concerned I may be responsible for wearing out the tarmac on my usual routes from Brighton to Ovingdean.

Little Miss Manky Toes
After doing an exceptionally long 23 mile run last weekend, it has been hard to drag myself out onto the streets even to do the smaller 4 mile runs this week. I had Monday off granted, but that just made it harder for me to apply myself on Tuesday. Tuesday I took a trundle along the seafront from King Alfred, which was fairly pleasant apart from almost tripping over an over excited border collie. He was chasing a ball that just had to be hurtling towards me. The owner gave me a rather sheepish look, excuse the pun, and I gave him a kind of mmmm grrrr look back!

Marathon training taking its toll? No flagging allowed….dust yourselves off and get going
Hi Sherry Chandler here, I'm another crazy who has been training my socks off for the past eight weeks for the big day.
