doug Posted September 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 My ensemble, this year, wil be the same as for the last 2 years - a navy "T" shirt, faded blue shorts, grey/white socks and ditto trainers. They have been washed since last year's run. I will of course be carrying the Forum flag - probably No.1 as that seems to be the most popular one.

doug Posted September 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Right, see you there then rebel. Think everything is ready - Mowed the lawn, may not feel like it tomorrow afternoon - watered all the hanging baskets and pots - travel bag packed with 6 mars bars and 5 bananas etc. Run number now pinned to t shirt, flag prepared, chipped ankle bracelet, knickers, socks and trainers all laid out. Now what have I forgotten? Early night tonight, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug Posted September 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Forgot the Vaseline - most important. When you see the St. John's Ambulance boys and girls standing at the side of the road hold their hands it - it's not for the runners to shake their hands but to get a dollop of Vaseline. Don't ask where it's applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
