Foxy Davy Oct 2008 9:54pm, 20 Oct 2008 434 posts	Foxy Davy yes it did cross my mind, it was a bit scary to be struggling on an 8 mile run, but I guess just a bad day at the office - just hope i don't have a bad day in May.
Velociraptor Oct 2008 9:56pm, 20 Oct 2008 4,627 posts	Velociraptor Statistically, you'll have at least one bad day in May. We all will.

Davy - I'm sure there will be more than one bad day - but if the last couple of years are anything to go by, the support and camaraderie of the guys in the 'challenge' will sort that out!! In a way - bad runs are good! Because they will need to be ground out. Good training, that!!
Foxy Davy Oct 2008 10:05pm, 20 Oct 2008 437 posts	Foxy Davy yes, probably true you do learn more about yourself on bad days, it's been along while since such a bad one, but toughens you up mentally I guess ? feel good that i got it done,i'm sure there are a few who wouldn't have gone out in such awful weather so that's pleasing
