    Of course, trainers first, then a running outfit...

    I might even book a hotel room for the night before so that I get there without being late...

    Anyone doing it in fancy dress?

    I think that I should, I've known most of you for years now, I'd feel cheap if I didn't.

    All depends on the day though, my kids will have to come first natch...

    Bring the kids! It starts/ends in Hyde Park so you can make a day of it :). There's a little food festival there too :)

    Yay! I got a Freya sports bra because I ran in a normal bra yesterday and that was a bad idea.

    I've not used it yet, but my mum swears by it and I inherited my enormous cleavage from her. My other Freya bras are great.

    The last sports bra I had was from M&S and that was really good. I can't use the ones that are bandeau-style, I have to have cups to feel properly supported, but I'm a DD-E so that might be why.

    I like Freya bras too. Most of my sports bras are Shock Absorber. I found a style that I particularly liked then bought it in several differet colours from ebay (bnwt of course). I've got a few other brands as well but shock absorber definately my favourite.

    I'm a fan of shock absorber too, just not of running.

    I will try and come and support you all, and will definitely help with the sponsorship.

    Good luck you guys :) I wish I was joining in with you :(

    I don't think I'll be able to make it to London in October (although you never know!) but I'll be virtually cheering you on :)

    Although I won't be running the half marathon, I do do a bit of running, so hopefully we can all motivate each other to increase speed / distance / whatever else! I reckon my busted ankle may just be well enough by the end of the week for some gentle jogging but we'll see :)
