Betty - struggling to read these digests on the blower, but if you are suggesting some sort of ladies/beer/curry evening, then how could one possibly refuse?
Marathon running - indeed, half the problem is that these crappy, contrived minority events take away some talented youth, but feckin ell, i know its boring, but when all you need to do is run for 2 hours/day and you'd be in our Olympic team, you'd think someone half decent would be prepared to do it? I think its true to say There's not one person today would get in the UK top 20 of the early 80s. Fuck me, I run 2 hours/day, then do a long days work then do my family role. It's not that hard. A mate of mine, a fat bastard in his 30s, who'd never run before, shed a load of weight and put in the miles and he's ranked about 6 or 7th in the country. The runners of the 70's/80's were school teachers, pipe fitters. No grants, no time off work. No high altitude African training camps. No nutritionists or other charlatans. Because, all you have to do is put on a pair of pumps and run a lot. Hard working, dedicated "Team GB"? Don't make me laff. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] PETE CASS (1962 - 2011) Rest In Peace Mate
