    After years of not running at all, I challenged the wife to a "run around the block".....I thought I was bad but she lasted 10 metres, bless her ! :rotfl:

    I staggered in 10 minutes later having made a 3/4 mile loop feel like a marathon :D

    Suggest you put on the pavement with a note "virtually unused, help yourself" ;)

    Yeah or send them to the poor in Africa, like they really need to lose calories. ;):D

    Did try running for a while at Uni.....everyone said your fitness improves week on week but after a couple of months I felt frustrated to have only progressed from completely kn*ckered to kn*ckered post-run!

    With me charity begins right outside my doorstep and they're seem to be plenty of takers from kids toys right down to 1991 hifis :eek: ! (No need for this freecycle.co.uk lark)
