Q Mac May 2008 3:08pm, 17 May 2008 696 posts	Q Mac Jenny, sometimes, Thursday just gone, competed in a 12 miler carrying 25lb, weapon and yes in my big boots - emotional but that's what we do! In a crazy sort of way, sometimes easier to run in boots, more padding and support for the ankles

jennywren May 2008 3:10pm, 17 May 2008 979 posts	jennywren Er, yes Max. But they don't usually have to run 26.2 miles to engage in battle I think
Q Mac May 2008 3:13pm, 17 May 2008 697 posts	Q Mac Ladies, Max stop winding Jenny up you! Quite right, these days its armoured vehicles or choppers. The days of Sharpe are long gone - shame, soldiers were soldiers then - we're becoming too pc now! (Oh no entered into Politics - oops sorry) Still good to yomp across moors or climb Welsh mountains every now and again.

Snapstinget May 2008 3:39pm, 17 May 2008 805 posts	Snapstinget Whoops -- slight logistical error there - yes, I am on the list on the RW thread but copied this from Hilly's post just before I added my name!!! But in a couple of weeks when entries close we can make a Fetch list. No need to do it yet
