One thing...
You don't have to get in the sweeper van, you can hand in your number, but say to them you are running as though you arnt in the race anymore and would like to carry on, they can't make you get in.
But doing this could mean no marshalls will be around, no sign posts, and you won't get an official time or show up in results as finished.
When is your first?

My first will be the Yorkshire Marathon in York in October 2014. I suspect i will be run/walking it. The cut off is 7hours but i'd like to be well within the time limit. Hopefully it will be the first of many.

Well done, you will soon have a whole collection of marathon medals lol
I definitely want to run one at some point, it's a great achievement
I see you are doing them fairly close together, but I guess you were very fit before you started marathon training from all the exercise classes

I'm a bit worried about them so close, also got a few unconfirmed stuff too like walks and more runs.
Trying to get used to doing 21 miles without it being that bad, once that's tackled I'll be better!
If I'm honest the classes are easy compared to running, I can do 10 classes back to back but a 16 mile run is worse. Much worse

Well done on your new PB
I'm debating whether or not to head down to my very first Parkrun on New Year's Day but worried i'll be dead last!

On my very first 5k back in 2006 (when i was still running)i had a guy running holding his toddler daughter's hand and pushing his baby in one of those special running buggies beat me! I'm still not sure how that happened. Not to mention the guy using 2 crutches who overtook me at the 2008 GNR! You have to laugh otherwise you'd go mad!
