It's the first time I've entered. I didn't think I'd be bothered but now we're approaching d day (week after next I'm guessing?) Ive become obsessed and am writing imaginary training plans Blush

When I entered I thought that if I got a spot, I'd defer it to give myself a year to put extra miles in my legs. But now I don't care about the extra miles...!!

Might look for other spring marathons.... K own I couldn't commit to fundraising for charity place.

Great news Sandunes. Still no email here...

RunningOutOfCharge · 03/10/2017 22:24

Congratulations!!

Third time!

SandunesAndRainclouds · 03/10/2017 21:57

I'm in - 3rd time lucky!

I didn't have a bib number on my registration when I looked early this morning.

Twitter feed says there are more your in mags to come.

Purplerunner · 03/10/2017 19:08

No word here either.

After a painful half marathon at the weekend, I'm hoping for a no!

Blackandpurple · 03/10/2017 17:50

Heard nothing yet. I thought seeing no bib number on the reg page though it was a NO which im hoping for.

wineusuallyhelps · 03/10/2017 17:00

I’m watching the post/email too!

Ran a HM two weeks ago with a gammy knee that hurt for the last 8 miles. So why do I hope I’m in?! Hmm

(Unlikely though, this is only my second time of entering.)

Imstyledilemma · 03/10/2017 16:43

What Black!
Did you get in? Shock

peppatax · 03/10/2017 16:41

Has anyone actually got a ‘no’ email yet? A few have got ‘I’m sorry’ magazines but still haven’t heard anyone getting a ‘no’ email

Blackandpurple · 03/10/2017 16:41

Oh fuck. 🙈

Imstyledilemma · 03/10/2017 16:32

It's Day 2. and the postman has been and gone.
Nothing again.

The not knowing is driving me insane.

MoonlightBay · 03/10/2017 16:09

Apparently the bib numbers were taken down early afternoon.

Some people who already had a yes, said that they didn't have a bib number.

A lot of people are also saying they have a bib number showing for Ride London, yet the ballot for that is still open.

LoudestRoar · 03/10/2017 16:02

Blackandpurple I got in but no bib number on buzz. They removed them all yesterday, so may not be a no

Blackandpurple · 03/10/2017 15:47

Im still waiting for the post. I checked online yesterday and there is no bib number under my entry so im taking thats a no (thankfully 😁).

My friend entered fir the 1st time and got in!!!

TuftedLadyGrotto · 03/10/2017 15:46

@IrianOfW did you get a magazine or an email?

IrianOfW · 03/10/2017 15:44

That's a no then! Nor sure if its :( or :)

PickleSarnie · 03/10/2017 14:59

I got my "you're in" magazine yesterday. Although I had deferred last year's entry due to me knackering my knees so I knew it was coming. Still excited/terrified. And hoping my knees will hold up this time. Doing spinning and strengthening at the gym in addition to running just to give knee it's best shot. Whilst on pretty strict diet to try and lose a few pounds before the running ramps up.

LoudestRoar · 03/10/2017 14:45

First run in 3 years just completed. Was a mixture of walking and running. I was also pushing my son in his buggy. 2k in 21 mins

MoonlightBay · 03/10/2017 14:12

No email or magazine yet, for me or DHSad I would just like to know one way or another. There is no escape as my facebook feed is full of speculationGrin

The only person I know who has received a yes mag, had a good for age place anyway.

Seems like hardly anyone at my local running club has heard anything either.

TuftedLadyGrotto · 03/10/2017 12:51

*not true.

TuftedLadyGrotto · 03/10/2017 12:49

That's it true steaming a few friends have had sorry magazines already. They have had over 300,000 entries. They can't send that many emails at once or it would crash their server. And royal mail probably couldn't handle that either. It literally doesn't mean anything if you have entered heard yet. I know people last year who got in on the third day and people rejected on the first.

revolution909 · 03/10/2017 12:23

Nothing from the poastie! I don't think I'm TBH

SteamingPistons · 03/10/2017 12:22

I'm starting to get so fed up of waiting I'm researching other marathons lol. Apparently the "you're in" stuff goes out first, so it's not looking good at this point. Although saying that something could still come through the post today I guess as my postie comes late but I'm not convinced..
