Just how much of a wrongcock would i be if i joined the local running club ?

[Snin]

no idea why but thinking of popping along for some training runs..to meet some local people ...they will be odd though wont they ? at least they will be fit i guess

[Berni]

ie the solitude and freedom to run at my own pace, on my favoured route listening to my own music/book/podcast.

F*ck running clubs. Full of wronguns.

I'm off to Henley tomorrow. The address I'm going to is The Boathouse. Is it underwater?

[Maravilloso Marvo]

It's been quite a while since I went further afield that that you see.

He's a jaded old stand up comic who interviews all sorts of interesting creative people. Once you get past the psychobablle and emo stuff it's rather wonderful.

[Pokster]

I wouldn't say they were all fit.

as Berni says, the getting away from everyone is one of the best things about running

That is why i'll be running with 000's of people in April (subject to my knee holding out):-|

As I sit here I am suspiciously eyeing the River Aire, which we are the first house up from.

Mate of mine is quite a decent runner, 5km in 20 minutes sort of pace. He was telling me that the woman in his local Runners Needs was telling him about Parkrun and how he should go along. I explained to him it was likely to be full of wrong uns who want a social tea and biscuits with a leisurely 5km in 35 minute jog/walk. Serious running is about being by yourself.

[Berni]

So that's some consolation, surely? ;-)

[Ashberto]

Hang on, does zone 2 extend all the way to Wandsworth these days?

He was the remarkably corrupt tory council leader in the 80s who gutted the town.

Thatch is just Thatch, obviously.

is right at its door..think it may have shut one day as road along river was closed..it still says road closed today but just go round the sign as the road only half underwater now. Think they have stayed open the whole time but water is very close to them.

I had the lamb but place lacked a bit of atmosphere but maybe it was a quiet night..everyone here at work loves it..slightlyo verpriced for what it is..but I guess its henley

[Maravilloso Marvo]

I ran my first 5k in over 2 months on Monday night after I tore 2 ligaments in my ankle playing football in November. Hard going, I have lost all of my cardio fitness. Gonna take some work to get back down to my normal times of 25-27 minutes (not bad for a fat bloke). I put on a stone over Christmas by not being able to run.

[Snin]

skinny, loose high cut shorts, balls no doubt dying to hang in your face..doing lots of stretches and bad jokes

If their pace was too slow I'd overtake and look for the next one.

[Maz]

shame on you

[Snin]

im getting quicker as I think if I was a woman I'd have been 10th or something..so not many in front any more ...try pretending you are chasing them ..its even more fun and you go quicker as you then over take them and then concentrate on chasing the next one...rapey running is the technical term

Though the sodden soil will probably see the corpses in the cem sliding down the hill underground... wooooohhh!!!!!

[Maravilloso Marvo]

Well I did by about week 6 of my rehab. But have you seen what happens to your ankle when you row.

I could and did cycle but nowhere near enough of a workout for me.

[Maz]

...but it's my Achilles that's f**ked not ligaments but they're all much of a muchness these muscley thingies, aren't they?

[Snin]

the wimp is going to watch the match at home in the warmth.
