This will be travelling at 17 mins/mile at the rear of the field. Anyone overtaken will be deemed out of the race. So I've not only got to look where I'm going, I've got to keep a sharp look out behind.Don't forget you are supposed to be cheering No. 25704 and not anyone else - except Paula Radfcliffe who is now taking part.In case I've not yet bored anyone over this - especially the new members check out the following linkshttp://www.windowsforum.org/support/forum/...?showtopic=4184 :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Seriously Doug, PLEASE remind us all again nearer the date, and definitely let us know your number again, and as suggested wear something easily identifiable. Maybe Nellie will lend you her pink party frock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted September 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Will do andsome. Have been thinking about my ensemble for the run. Had considered running in the nuddy but there are 2 drawbacks. First I will have to pin my race No. onto my chest with 4 safety pins and I only have 2 nipples. Second the chap who decided to walk from John O'Groats to lands End end enhance his all over suntan was seriously hampered by the Peelers.

doug Posted September 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 I have decided on my ensemble for the run. I shall be wearing a very tasteful navy blue T shirt, accompanied by a pair of very faded and well washed originally blue shorts in addition to originally white trainers. I am often seen running with a water bottle in my left hand - am getting much better at squirting water into my mouth instead of all over my spectacles. I also run with a very soggy handkerchief in my right hand as running also makes my nose run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
