Dear Gaffer Just a quick mail to wish you luck on the marathon day. I have missed you at training recently due to your tapering. Hope all is going to plan and injury free. Thanks for all the help you have given me over the last few weeks to prepare me for London but most of all for putting up with my moaning ;D. Just do your best and take care. Will be thinking of you, go GAFFER  X |

Thanks for all the kind words.
The day didn't go according to plan and I struggled in the second half of the race.
I think I will have to resign from the 'gaffer' position as my half splits were 1.33 and 2.07.
Not exactly even splits

Lawrence, just read your post. I am sorry to hear your marathon did not go to plan. You didn't mention your time but I am sure I will be thinking, wish that was me. No matter what you ran 26mls and that is a huge achievement what ever time. That's what its all about, so well done to you. As for the statement "I think I'll have to resign from the gaffer" don't even consider the fact. There is no one who could give our club the experience and knowledge you have. Wee G would be devastated! as would the rest of the team. Rest now and I'll see you at training after London and put a smile back on your face with my stupid banter. Take care.

Gaffer, resignation NOT accepted. Get yourself signed up for another race and forget that one. Still a great effort by the way, I'd bite your hand off for a 3.40 time!!
