The athletics/running thread

[Burnden Paddock]

Harry G should come and marshal with me. My sole aim for the next few months of Parkrun is to acquaint myself with Bang-Tidy.

Take a crutch tomorrow and go for the sympathy vote. Chicks love crutches. I think that's what someone once told me.

You may need to (discreetly) point her out to me too. Is she a good runner? Will I be able to run up Cruella behind or is she too fast/ slow?

LE doesn't do discreet. He'll most likely stand and point. With his tongue hanging out!

I have no idea. Do you really expect me to take an interest in her parkrun times?

Great clip! that is the sort of thing I would do with my complete lack of coordination.
I just headbutted an old lady in the pool today. Accidentally of course, but I was on the wrong side of the lane. Each time I apologised she moaned more.

She runs exactly five seconds faster than me - every week.

No sign of Bang Tidy but a fun morning nonetheless. Cheers Bruce and BP and (latterly) LE

See you next time.

If that comment had come from LE, I would be half expecting there to be an element of truth to it.

Good to meet the family GtE. See you next time for more unlimited sausage!

1st ever vets league done with no ill effects. Less said about time and distances the better but it was fun and I'll hopefully be way fitter next year. Thinking about a swim tonight.

Time? Have you been running too? Xc season isn't that far away you know!

Hoping to be back running this weekend. Sticking to the fells for a bit though so no brekky

Yes. I did a 100m sprint too. First and last ever I hope!

1km swum this evening as well so feel like I'm back on it this week.

Good news re the leg healing up. Take it easy on the fells though - and just think how virtous you will feel eating your bran flakes before you go!

Oi! Sod SPOTY, I've not given up on the idea of scoring Boltons winner in the cup final yet. Sadly, I think this year my chances of playing for the first team are greater than ever before

At 47 he is but a spring chicken!

Oh and Harry. I'll let you provide the assist for my winner!
