    Good evening everyone. Not long got back from previously mentioned sweaty friend's get together ;). It was ended with a few drinks in a local pub though to cool down so shouldn't complain really. :D

    I'm curious, are they generally a sweaty friend or did you all just get sweaty this afternoon in the heat?

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Don't have the stuff.
    I ordered one last weekend in the pub when we went for a family Sunday dinner.
    When it came it was one of those disgusting pre-mixed ones in a bottle, no fresh mint, it tasted like they'd just squirted some Colgate into it!!!!
    I sent it back but they wouldn't exchange it just because I didn't like the taste.
    !!!!!!.
