Thanks for the reassurances everyone! Just had a very nice pint of Hadham Gold (from Green Tye http://www.beermad.org.uk/brewery/424) and feel much better about Sunday!

I'm a pink number, from near the front of Regent Road.

Not implying I'm an alkie, are you, Renters? ;-) Yes, directions from Ryan's Bar help, lol :-)

Beat me to it, JaneyM, well done :-) Those up for a pre race group pic/ chat/ hugs /introductions, shall we stick to the traditional 9am meet up outside St James shopping centre? It's along from Burger King and very close to the baggage trucks, toilets and race starts :-)

I've not been around here as much as I wanted, but am going to be in Edinburgh on Sunday for my first-ever marathon. Absolutely petrified right now! I've been training in the cold all winter... what's with this sunshine nonsense!?

I'll be in a macmillan cancer support vest, starting at Regents Road (orange pen).

Good luck everyone!

I'm on Regents Road start gold pen with green Macmillan vest and LOU on the front - I'll be wearing my white visor and bottle belt so please come and say hi - feeling very nervous too! We've arrived in Edinburgh though so at least we're here!! BBC weather saying cloudy and sunny spells morning about 12 degrees at 10am then 15 degrees at 1pm with full sun and 17 degrees at 4pm with full sun - not as hot as down south!!

Got to be honest, folks, come race day, I'll be so nervous/focused/writing my will, that I won't recall who's wearing what, but I'll be in Fetch colours and I promise I'm not ignoring the charity vest runners, I'm just a numpty with a bad memory, please say hi anyway :-)
