He was on a walk-run strategy, but he was slowing down just as much as I was over the last 6 miles! (ended up 25 seconds ahead of me at the end)

The 90 days usually is long enough for many though.

She was impressively grown up about it but it was a real shame because the training had gone so well.

RichK Oct 2008 11:45pm, 21 Oct 2008 254 posts	RichK Mick that's very kind of you but I wasn't the only one (and I know you're not suggesting I was!!) lots of us contributed to making the day what it was in some degree or another :):) the main thing is that it was a success and that Abingdon is back on the calendar, thanks to LotTL and his team sorry to hear that your groin let you down but you're right . . there's always the next one
