I think they must read this thread, I got a reply this morning ;-)

Neither an accept nor a decline, too far ahead at the moment, I'll still try and do the run with him either way :-)

Good they got back to you Gus. I think they do planning in batches so I was going to say give it a little longer!

I'm planning to join Ben tomorrow. I'll be on my bike however as I'm really not up to a marathon!

I thought that yesterday morning LWR when I set off to join Ben in Carlisle for 8 miles. 26.2 miles later.... What a thoroughly pleasant, inspiring and down to Earth guy. Mum and Dad are looking after things at home organisation-wise for him, but the media has caught on now so they're very very busy but they will respond in time.

Ben's just been on 5 News. I've spent my birthday cycling round Preston with him and about twenty other nutters, most of whom ran. Genuinely splendid bloke.

The last chance to run with Ben. Share and enjoy. Indicate if you're going (both here and on FB but most important on FB so they get an idea of numbers).

Just run a few miles with Ben in Bedford this morning. Enjoyed the company and the banter as well as the run.

I ran a few miles with Ben today in the sun, rain, hail, snow and wind.

He's a lovely guy. Hoping to join him for a bit tomorrow as well.

I only managed about 4 miles because I'm still sore from London at the weekend. That excuse seemed pretty lame though seeing as he's just done 239 in a row!

There was a great piece during the VLM on Sunday about Ben.
