Sorry to hear that.
Does the Brighton Marathon (the week before) still have places? I'd be tempted if I had a knock back from London.

Brighton is releasing a few more entries soon http://www.brightonmarathon.co.uk/general-entries-reopeningI didn't get into London either, looking at the mailing list. Debating whether to go for a charity spot, but the ethical issue of not raising the stupid amounts they require is putting me off

Didnt get on the ballot in the normal way, but have my Teenage Cancer trust charity place so thats all ok. Apparently Ive been sent some nice training shirt for failing in the ballot.

I got one of those a few years ago. It is nice in all fairness, but it's a bit weird running around in a London marathon branded too when you haven't actually ran the marathon

I ran in the teenage cancer trust vest they've sent me the other week. First time Ive worn a running vest, or indeed any vest in anything but jest since 1988. It felt weird. Suppose Id better get used to it.

Signed up for attempt two of London.
This one is more for atmosphere than time, so we'll see how it goes. Any TEF'ers fancy a training partner?
