Received an offer by email for 25% off for next years Great South run and only gone and taken the plunge. In for a penny in for a pound, what the heck! With a bit of luck I will be able to fit a couple more in next year. This running lark bites hard, but very enjoyable 😊. Photo Of me coming into the last 200 mtrs, still looking for my wife (hope she's there I need a lift home!) 😊

Legs didn't scare you then? I did wear a warning sign for a while as not to frighten young children 😊. I will find a couple more to do now in the not to distant future, just got to find the time when I'm allowed out to play 😊. xxx

That's how they got me to do the Hackney HM next year again, a sneaky email with a discount, they know we can't resist. Well done for taking the plunge again.

I will look at Chichester should be a flat run (I don't do hills) and think its 10k so my favourite distance at the moment ! :)

Good one Frank, it's great to have a goal to work towards :)

Great photo, you're looking full of energy, it's hard to believe you've just completed a race :)

It's just something you got to do, can't resist a bargain. I didn't put the one up of me gasping for air 😧

Hi V, thanks for the reply, I can't resist a bargain either! The looking strong was only on the surface, underneath I had legs of jelly! 😎
