Now THAT'S what I call running

I stopped taking my Wellwoman vitamin tablets and have rediscovered my energy! WEIRD! It could of course be coincidence but I could barely lift my legs up two weeks ago and this week I have been raring to go! Two 6k's in one week and last night I took off in thunder and lightening! It was amazing! It's still hard, I doubt I'll get over 6k in a hurry and I'm not breaking any landspeed records but the feeling of running in the dark in the rain with flashes all around me appeals to my inner Hammer Horror! I LOVED it! By jove, I think I might finally have got it! :-D

Oooh, sounds great! I've been out in the snow but not lightning, not really had much of that round here, but it does sound appealing, maybe not over the open expanse of the aerodrome though.....

That is curious. There was a documentary on TV recently which said the vast majority of the vitamins taken pass straight our system and add little value as long as you eat a healthy diet.

Wow that's odd isn't it? Perhaps I just don't need them like I thought I did. Funny it should crop up like that though!
