I can't either. My legs kill this morning. That'll teach me to not do a proper warm up and cool down. I should know better. :oops:

Enfield Mayor's Fun Run 2011

The finish is 150m uphill and an absolute killer.

It's not. I did the 3k run with my daughter as a warm up. They also had a 1m walk for the fag hags and pram pushers. :roll:

Not yet. She dabbles more to humour me I think. She does lots of other stuff to keep her active though with swimming, gymnastics, dance etc.

Doesn't look too impressive when a pensioner is on your shoulder. Hope you've lapped him. :wink:

That 'pensioner' is a 63 year old sub 45 minute 10k runner. He's been running for donkeys years. First time I've beaten him (and a few others) on this course.

There's some bloody fast old gimmers out there! :wink:
