| Running / Sporting Ambitions / Goals | To get fit & slim.....one day! |
| Any other interests, sports, hobbies. | Cycling, Kids, TV, dossing around, food, wine, chocolate, IT, wife...not necessarily in that order! |
| Most memorable event that you have experienced (in sport or in general) | In sport, my first Marathon and my next run, in life, getting wed to she who puts up with much too much (me) and childbirth...not me of course, but being there when the boy turned up! |
| Sporting Icon | No one person, but all those that rise from the couch of DOOM, put aside the fags, beer, chips, curry, wife & mistress etc and take up a serious regular sporting activity. It takes a level of commitment and bloody-mindedness which is to be respected at all costs.
Even more respect and awe to the wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands & offspring of such sporting icons who put up with and support our manic commitment to the ever distant Personal Best! We are not worthy of you! |
