We are going along to support, not sure where we will be though as don’t want to congregate in a crowd as need to respect the organisers.

This is still under debate. ! Eldest is now around and son#3 is running so I may take train to meet son#3 knowing that eldest can drive me if the trains muck up. What about you ? Do you have a target time ?

I am still holding off on my withdrawal as it appears my GFA place cannot be deferred. However its 100% certain I will not be participating this year.
I can see why they are doing this for GFA as my qualifying time was from October 2019 and and so is out of date. However opportunities for a GFA since then have been limited. Last years virtual could be used but I didnt train specifically for that and ran 3:18. Had I known I would need a 3:15 I may have put in a bit more focus.
I will watch you all on the telly which will be a novelty

I understand there may not be trains due to strikes, not sure how true this is?

They always have those rumours and in general a solution is found as TfL etc dont want disruption on Marathon Day
The unions pick their strike dates purposely knowing they increase chances of getting abetter deal

My training success is inversely proportional to the amount of weight I put on since lockdown 2. If I had a place that wasn't a club place I'd be deferring to next year, but I've already cost another Fetchie a chance of this year's place by my deferral from the original year so I'll be Forrest Gumping my way around as best I can. I fully expect to be accompanied by the sweeper, let's hope they're a jolly sweeper. I've got the Ibis Canary Wharf booked for a ridiculous amount because I think it'd be extra stress to travel in in the morning. I am incredibly lucky to have the place, I'll enjoy at least 15 miles of it and the rest will be character building
