fishbulb Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Which reminds me - the WW big gay Parkrun pile on never happened. Now that a few more 'runists' are coming out of the woodwork, how about it? PS Fester - which 10k is it? Quote

madthatter Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Went to Bristol a few weeks back. Go running in that area where you first come in... You wouldn't wanna stop running there. ... Ha ha, indeed! I think it's St Paul's that you're referring too - I've been told it's a wee bit rum! To anyone that's interested, I can vouch for the first class services of Mr Swan! You had any more ideas re. the teaching? Quote
only1swanny Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 You had any more ideas re. the teaching? start a Secondary Maths Course at MMU in September.. going to have to get back into running because as soon as the hard graft stops ( and carrying sofas wardrobes and huge potplants upstairs ) stops i'm going to get fat(ter).. Bought a bike to get back into shape and starting running again soon ! New house has a downstairs bathroom which means I can come straight in strip off and into the shower without having to negotiate stairs whilst feeling dead.... Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I used turn up to the Parkrun in Reebok Classics with a bottle of Omega White Cider and obliterate all the 'competition'... Unfortunately I'm now the wrong side of 35 and thus am retired, so this cannot be verified. Quote
Mike Hunt Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 wigan. got to take a bag of shite with me for the d.w Macedonian border......... Quote

Nice one - Good luck with it mate, if it's a PGCE it'l be a full-on year! I've just had my bike fixed but not had the minerals to face the sheer cliff faces of old Bristol town yet. The runs i've done have nearly killed me. My plan was to cycle to work but as it seems like i've moved to a place wetter than Bolton that ideas been well binned off for now! Ha ha, I had to move that wardrobe . . . was thinkin' of asking for a slight refund as you left it in the front room;)!! On my bloody own though, She was no help whatsoever! Fair play getting all that gear up them stairs, now you can see why I stayed in Manchester:) All best mate Edited January 25, 2014 by madthatter Quote
