Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I remember a run like that in my early days. Me and another newbie with a 'shepherd' to look after us. The other lady was wearing flared fitness trousers and as they got soaked they kept falling down :-o

Any chance USB the runner with flared fitness trousers is still running and could I be the tail runner for her?

I don't think she stayed around long and if she is still running I'm sure she has learnt her lesson.

You'd have enjoyed the view of the lacy thong I had when I was shepherding beginners one week ;-)

I fell off a ladder today and landed in a heap having slid down a fence. One side of my body has some Fence Rash and I took skin of my foot in a couple of places too. Not ideal preparation for Sundays Einstein marathon in Ulm, Germany.

No running today, but instead I paddled my kayak a little before work and then had a swim in the sea ( just to really make me scream). Salt water is good for cuts and grazes? Right!! :-0

Anyway the thought of running was far from my mind but as i finished my medicinal swim I realised I was sharing my company with a seal who was about 10 - 15 metres away from me. Quite surprising really as they don't usually frequent this part of the coast.

We kept a respectable distance from each other and paid each other undivided attention. Way better than any run and i felt quite privalidged

Just goes to show falling off ladders is not all bad :-)

18 to take me to 83. Given I've got a 20 mile race next Saturday I think I'll make it ;)

SS ppl would pay lots of money to swim with a seal. Lucky you :-)

Go camp at Waxham in Norfolk. I have never been there and not swum with seals. It would be a shock NOT to see them :-)

Still find it cool to share the water with them though :-) Particularly when they suddenly pop up a few feet away.

Job done with two weeks to spare, currently reside on 105 miles in September and that doesn't include cheating by running marathons ;-)
