where Elaine says VLM....b*ll*cks

No use being glum about it, chin up and think ahead, there'll be another chance, oh well.... but actually I'm GUTTED! I didn't get a ballot place in 2011 Virgin London Marathon, it was going to be my swan song...I was going to go out on a huge high...now I'm crashing down on a big carb loaed comfort food low ( and that'll take a nice hefty double figured run to burn off too - like I'm not depressed enough!)
Well here's plan B ... keep up the training and pleasure (?) running on through autumn and early winter then gear up for a few 10km runs early spring, sit and watch and wail over VLM when it's splashed all over the telly then gird me loins and get on with upping to decent half marathons in late Spring culminating in a (hopeful) place in The Great Northern Run 2011.
You can't keep this old bird down, I'm not ready for a perch quite yet!
EMW-UK have still got one hope alive for VLM- young trustee Sam has yet to hear - everything crossed including lips to stop me adding anymore sinful carbs to the damage already inflicted!
