Hopefully we won't encounter any more jesters. These are the people that think it's a really smart idea to jump in front of you, waving their hands, sporting a daft grin. I simply return the grin and turn the speed up a notch, at which point their grin usually disappears along with the rest of them.

Q Can we have a photo of you in your pink running vest on the blog please?
A Yes, this was quite a popular request. And yes, I do look a bit dopey, don't I. But no, I don't have a giant snail crawling down my vest - that's a reflective zip.
Q Who are your marathon heroes?
A My top three are:
1. Michael Watson
2. Dick Beardsley
3. Vanderlei de Lima
And here are a few villains:
1. Paul Appleby
2. Rosie Ruiz
3. Chris Goodlad (the link will be added when it becomes available after the race)
Q Uncle Chris, what thing do you find most difficult to do each day?
A Making my first cup of coffee.
Q How do you cope with those long lonely training runs?
A Good question. Obviously it will be much easier on race day with 35,000 people chasing after me. Seriously though, I spend a lot of the time praying and thanking God for what Jesus has done for me and others - I am never alone.
Q Uncle Chris, it's Valentine's Day soon. Do you have any suggestions for me - which food is most likely to get the pulses racing?
A Runner beans.
