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.

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

Imstyledilemma · 03/10/2017 16:43

What Black!
Did you get in? Shock

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.)

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.

Purplerunner · 03/10/2017 19:08

No word here either.

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

MoonlightBay · 03/10/2017 21:33

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

I'm in - 3rd time lucky!

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

RunningOutOfCharge · 03/10/2017 22:24

Congratulations!!

Third time!

Twodogsandahooch · 04/10/2017 08:05

Great news Sandunes. Still no email here...

SandunesAndRainclouds · 04/10/2017 09:23

I was really shocked to get the 'You're in!' mag. It probably sounds a bit twee, but this really is a lifeline for me. I've been carrying a heavy fog of anxiety for a while now and this has given me a real buzz of excitement. It's so nice to have something to train!

Now I have to decide if I keep my Brighton place the week before...

RunningOutOfCharge · 04/10/2017 09:34

Can you defer Brighton?

I’m expecting an email..... last years came around lunchtime

Timeywimey8 · 04/10/2017 09:40

You can defer Brighton but you'll have to pay again, so it's cheaper to defer London as the entry fee is a lot lower.

HappyGowerGirl · 04/10/2017 09:58

That's so great for you sandunes👍

SandunesAndRainclouds · 04/10/2017 09:58

I live near Brighton and I've done it before so I'm not too worried if I don't do it. I paid the lowest price at expo so it's not the worst hit - or I could sell it! Saying that, Brighton places are easily come by so I'm not sure if there'd be any takers.

I'm very excited to run London so couldn't defer that!

MoonlightBay · 04/10/2017 10:21

Congratulations SandunesSmile

I am wondering if emails will be last to go out. I have not read of one person being notified by email yet.

Sandunes, Congratulations!

When did you find out?

Was it Tuesday's mail or Wednesday morning (today's) mail?

Imstyledilemma · 04/10/2017 10:53

A lot of people have said that they send out the You're In mags first and then the rest, but if Sandunes had her You're In mag this morning, on Day 3, then there's still, a slight bit of hope for some of us. Shock

Imstyledilemma · 04/10/2017 10:55

Golden, me too.
Our mail comes really late in the day.

So another day of waiting.

I have stomach ache from all the tension.

Imstyledilemma · 04/10/2017 10:56

Another thing,
Can you tell by the packaging whether it will be an in or out magazine? Confused

OhSoTotallyLost · 04/10/2017 11:08

Still nothing here.

LoudestRoar · 04/10/2017 11:09

Still now word for dh.....

PickleSarnie · 04/10/2017 11:20

My "You're" in Magazine was in red packaging and my "You're NOT In" magazine was in yellow packaging I think. But they were from different years obviously so perhaps there's no pattern to the colours?

Imstyledilemma · 04/10/2017 11:57

Thanks Pickle.
Another two hours till the postman gets here.
