My Forum

I was part way through a LSR one day and was weaving a bit on one of my walk breaks. I was smacked in the back by a passing cyclist (he thwacked me with his hand. I'm glad I was wearing my camelback). I was on a thin path with wide grass verges by a wide road with very little traffic. I'm sure he said something to me, but being partially deaf means I didn't hear. Plus I'd been running for about 3-4 hours, so I wasn't quite with it. There was pleanty of space for him, there was no need to nearly run me over and smack me one.

Only issue I've ever had with a cyclist. Usually the ones round here are sensible and nice.

End of September I will be moving into a flat on my own. This is my choice. I probably could have found a house share for cheaper, but I really just want my own space at the moment (just got out of a four year relationship). The only housemate I want at the moment is my cat!

If you enter a dodgy race like this one, and the rule is wear those crummy t shirts, then that's the rule!

you wouldn't turn up at a santa 5k wearing just shorts and singlet.

Either race it under their rules, or pick one of the other 20,000 in the country, and wear what you want

The issue is that when I signed up last year the rule about the T-shirts was not there. Nike issued the "must wear the T-shirt we provide"  thing after they took it over only a little while ago.

Anyway, it doesn't matter now as we've been told that we can wear our charity tops/fancy dress.

"Whether it is a 14 minute mile or a 7 minute mile, it is still a mile" Also found on a pic on Pinterest.

I liked these as I went from not running for 10ish years to signing up for a marathon. I was slow, but I still ran and I got there.

Usually depends on the actual size of the thing and what mood I'm in. I don't think I'd ever get a large in Starbucks for example, but might go for a large coffee in a cafe as it's not actually that big.  

And that breakfast was madness O_O
