Where is everyone from?

[PotterBook]

I currently live right outside of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA.  I'm curious to know where everyone is..

[Rignold]

At the start of a run or at the end?

[PotterBook Graduate in reply to Rignold]

The usual starting place would likely suffice...

[Geordie_julie]

[LisaRose74 in reply to John_W]

Ahh the mighty reds, thank goodness you're not a blue!

[boptillyoudrop49 Graduate in reply to John_W]

Aw my mum grew up on the Wirral.

[GoogleMe Graduate in reply to John_W]

Visting The Wirral has become a kind of impossible dream of mine...

[John_W Graduate in reply to GoogleMe]

Why impossible and what's your motivation for visiting?

[GoogleMe Graduate in reply to John_W]

Money, first and foremost or I could go by myself. Other people not understanding the motivation the other. Wildlife (especially birds), culture (Port Sunlight) Ness Gardens, you name it...

[John_W Graduate in reply to GoogleMe]

I work in Port Sunlight It's where I do most of my running, around the historic village.  And this Saturday, although not a bird-watcher, I hope to see, for the 1st time, the high tide at Parkgate.

You must be quite far away if money is an issue to get here?

[GoogleMe Graduate in reply to John_W]

Nope, just tight budget and other things have to take precedence.

[John_W Graduate in reply to GoogleMe]

Understood. Well, I'm happy to hear to you want visit our very under-rated bit of the country  - you'll be more than welcome when you finally get here

Really? That's great! What brings you to my neck of the woods?

[vivster Graduate in reply to PotterBook]

Just a holiday. We've got a few days in New York and then we're getting a car and will get out of the city. Haven't worked out where to go yet, but it will probably be up into New England. Any recommendations gratefully received!

Looks like I'm the only American here.  I truly wish I could visit England. I had a chance during college but didn't take it.  One of the biggest regrets of my life. 

[aliboo70 in reply to PotterBook]

There is a link above the posts where the menu is  that says "people near you", have a look!

Ps I'm sure you'll get to come over to England one day 😆

[nhs2015 Graduate in reply to PotterBook]

It is just a hop away really, isn't it?

I love reading all the comments and encouragement in these posts, though have not yet dared to tackle running.  Feel too old...

[badgerun Graduate in reply to c-l-s-]

hmmm sounds like you secretly want to try this. Go on, no one asks your age ( 59? moi?) Ran for the first 2 weeks without telling my family because I thought it wasn't me.

[GoogleMe Graduate in reply to c-l-s-]

Glad you said 'feel' too old, because that's the bit you can change. Did you see Rignold's post about the chap who started at 89?

[Son1 Graduate in reply to c-l-s-]

Never too old - just take it steady and enjoy, c25k is great!

Grew up in Rushden, Northamptonshire UK.  Spent time in Burton-on-Trent, then Cricklewood, before settling in Rugby Warwickshire from 1988 to 2004. Since April 2004 I live in France. From 2004 to 2008 in Puiseux en France just north of Paris, since 2008 in a little village called Ménars, on the north bank of the Loire, 15 minutes from Blois, which is situated mid way between Tours and Orléans.  Wonderful for running, as there is a path running along the levy used by walkers and cyclists and runners  

[MarkyD Graduate in reply to Zev1963]

Wow Zev, Rushden eh? I spent 10 years in Raunds and Rushden was the big town: I learned to ski in Rushden.

[Zev1963 Graduate in reply to MarkyD]

Skew Bridge ski slope? 

[Zev1963 Graduate in reply to Zev1963]

One of my first jobs (starting Oct 1982) was working at Smith's Containers Ltd in Raunds, and then at their site between Higham and Rushden. They were later taken over by Reed Packaging I think

[MarkyD Graduate in reply to Zev1963]

Loads of warehousing and transportation around there now. And Raunds Plastic Containers were a big employer. I was there mid 90's to mid 00's. I worked in Bedford and Mrs MarkyD worked in Kettering General Hospital when we first moved there.

I'm a Brit in Germany. Have always wanted to visit New England, I've heard it is beautiful. Strangely enough my maternal grandparents got married in Boston. I'd like to see the church they got married in, amongst other things. There are other Americans posting here, you're not alone!

[John_W Graduate in reply to boptillyoudrop49]

and strangely enough, my Mum was natural German speaker and spoke to us kids in German. I have many relatives in western Germany.

[PotterBook Graduate in reply to boptillyoudrop49]

Thank you! I am only 45 minutes south of Boston. It is a beautiful city, but as I was born in the Bronx, NY and raised near New York City, Boston seems small to me. I've lived in Massachusetts going on 12 years this October. I really would love to see more of the world, especially Europe. I've been to Portugal, but have yet to venture out to see more. It is on my to-do list for sure.

I enjoy being amongst all of you wonderful people. As I read your replies and locations I try to hear your accents in my head as I read. It's lovely. I have always adored the British accent. It makes my English sound so.. Blah.

Hey! Someone who shares my continent!!  Good to see you

[GoogleMe Graduate]

The edge of the Peak District, in the Derbyshire Dales. That's my view from my bed in my profile. I don't have curtains so that it is the first thing I see when I open my eyes (assuming I don't have a cat on my face that is and that it isn't completely white with mist) Very spoiled with lovely places to run, although there is an intellectual challenge in finding the flat bits!

[vivster Graduate in reply to GoogleMe]

Hey, I'm from the Peak District too, although the High Peak, not the dales. Intend to return in the next few years.

[rammsteinqueen Graduate in reply to GoogleMe]

Love getting up that way. Bakewell is lovely and biking the Monsal Trail. Really must make the effort and get myself back up there..
