    Ooo I wonder if Bristol City have one (not that I'm thinking about it of course...)

    I hear they have a lovely pair :o (red blushy smilie).

    And you so are thinking about it Becky! :)

    Well actually I'd like to do NY if my buddy wants to do it again next year (but I haven't committed myself even vaguely yet)

    I havent even run an organised 10K yet so getting slightly ahead of myself me thinks!

    That's actually quite interesting Rich ;-)

    Go for it Beer Tins.. a few people have expressed the opinion that I'm mad for planning to do a marathon (I think their thinking is that it's a thing for super-fit lifelong athletic type people of which I am not the perfect example) but if god knows how many thousand other people do it every year, then why shouldn't we?

    That's the spirit! I'm sure even if my training doesn't go as well as I hoped, I'll still be well ahead of the curve timewise, if my 10k is anything to go by.

    Organised or not, you've run 10k and well above that. It's in your reach if you want it.

    Thats what its all about!! Set yourself something that seems close to impossible.

    I'm not going to encourage you though - I'll get blamed if it hurts! :p

    I actually quite like Bristol City - they gave us Marcus Stewart!

    And sold us Nick Carle this summer. Pretty much the best player in a Palace shirt I've seen this season.

    I'm attempting to apply that theory to various things in life.. for some reason 26 miles of physical effort is less scary than stuff that involves any sort of confidence though. Sorry that's not really relevant, except that the running/ walking makes me feel like I can achieve something when I'm disappointed with other parts of life.
