Blimey, named checked in a thread at last. It only took 12 months. From this day I no longer class myself as a newbie runner. I am a runner (who is prepared to take a walk break if needs must).
Thats not true Also Ran, I saw your name mentioned in another thread, but to be honest, because I think youre a nice guy, Im hesitant to post the link to it.
I wouldnt worry about it, RicF is wrong about a lot of things he says ....
I really think I might be cut out for Stand Up you know ...... I can do my own routine and Im comfortable enough playing off a crowd as well and coming up with witty off the cuff comments.
Wheres the number of the Comedy Store ......
Whats with your obsession over categories anyway DF3; whether someone has ran/walk/shuffled doesnt really matter. At least they had the bottle to enter and do it. You were looking for a marathon in London... The Thames Meander Marathon - in August.
Nut up or shut up.

August isnt a good month for me, just coming out of hayfever season and all.....
Well that says it all really.
Theres those that do and theres those who sit on the side harping about their bad knee etc.

The thing is if other athletic events adopted the same rules as 'marathon runners', you would end up with a high jump event where the competitor was allowed to use a chair jump off to help them out, or a shotput where they can use a lighter shot because the heavier one is a 'bit harder'. Why should the rules be watered down so some office worker in Milton Keynes who goes to the gym twice a week can put themselves in the same category as a RicF or a PhilPub or even our very own Stevie G and Also-ran???

Ha! thats true, I was hoping you had forgotten about that one.
David, didn't you say in another thread that you failed to complete half marathon distance the first few times you tried? Running a marathon won't feel like you've only run two halve's.
