:biggrin::biggrin: That's amazing. I can never imagine myself running marathons! I've only walked one once but that doesn't count. Literally the furthest I've ran non-stop is from where I live to the bus stop.

Haha it's not that amazing, only 13 miles. If you actually enjoy running as a sport like I do then I imagine it's much easier :smile:

Running for fun atm but thinking of doing it for Macmillan. Its actually July haha so even longer. Its not a case of finishing because I could do it fine as is but I wsnt to get a great time too :biggrin: got my weekly 5K in Dundee tomorrow so that should be good


I ran one a few months ago for Run to the beat 'Get kids going' :smile: Unlike the proper marathon (miles 20+ are the worst haha) you should revel the half marathon run, it's a much more enjoyable race. What sort of time you aiming for? :biggrin: Lemme know how it goes :smile:

Yeah! That's the one :smile: I signed up with my running team, we all raised £ for different charities but it was awesome to do it together. The entry fee was like £35 ish. Man if we all get to Glasgow, be amazing to form a running squad or something like that :biggrin:

P.S Good luck with Barts, PG! :colondollar: Go and rock it.

I've been told that some more interviews were held on Friday
That means we will have even longer to wait for decisions then :frown: and increased competition. This wait is killing me!

Just emailed Glasgow regarding when we can expect to hear regarding offers/rejections and got this response.

"Our decision making process is due to commence this week and all applicants will be contacted in due course."

Makes me think it won't be this week we will hear!

Something tells me we'll have to wait until mid - late March... (They also only stopped interviewing around mid - February back in 2012 and people were kept waiting until the very last day of the month of March)
