SARQ-Eric for Prime Minister?, good to see you back running, it could have been worse, you could have had a real injury 
Clairster-thanks for the info. i already receive a regular e-mail from Si entries and a few others plus go on the LDWA web site.
Did one of NI's progressive runs this morning on Longendale, started off at 20min. miling and worked down to 15mm, (not run properly for 10 weeks), i seemed to be in a trance, floating along, seeing Eric and J8 go sub 2.45 and GBM sub 3 and imagined doing 4 villages and passing a group of SH's-PPP, SARQ, Eric, JMC etc. then i tripped over and came back to reality, anyway, you can dream
