You did a great job, Mate. Glad you had a good time too. Your running partner (terrible memory. What was her name?) was great, too, wasn't she?

And Night-Owl is getting on for being in the form of her life! Brilliant running there.

Louise is a really nice lass. We only had one argument. I had to insist on paying for the second round of coffees in the harvester afterwards.

How much of the run was she having to drag you, mate?

Night-Owl is doing a good job of disproving the 'streaking is bad for you' theory, alas.

True, Greg. It certainly seems to be working for Pammie. I guess that having the impetus to keep running regularly is a good thing. At some point I suspect it will prevent adequate recovery but in the meantime good luck to her.

Actually Nellers I apparently made the mistake (so she told me afterwards) and asking her to set the pace but she said if she had let me do it I would have been able to drag her round quicker. I won't let her get away with that next time!
