Did Reading Half yesterday, which was pretty flat. Though perhaps weaving through the crowds made up for the lack of hills

You'll be back hours before me each day. how's yor brathay fundraising going - looking on justgiving it would appear everyone except tim & myself is struggling - is that correct or do people need to update their offline donations ?

Foxy Davy Mar 2009 7:44pm, 30 Mar 2009 3,312 posts	Foxy Davy Glad to hear you're not struggling, was just worried some of the guys were as Scott wanted confirmation that folks had raised the required amount prior to the event or wouldn't be allowed to run & If I can help anyone out who is struggling I'd be happy to do so.
