Mick n Phil Jul 2011 10:59pm, 28 Jul 2011 13,727 posts	Quote Pin Mick n Phil i do get lots of compliments - more so when running pushing Phillip - it appears to impress peeps and they ask us allsorts - at races or training solo running, well thats the chance u take- usually it's good comments- but some are not, or were not, as i dont get out much solo now a days but i always try to acknowledge polite encouraging public but what i'd call ( society's tossers ) i simply ignore- and think, you chase me if u wish, but i'm going to have the last laugh - i'll be running with ease long after they've colapsed to their knees
