A view From the Back

Nostalgia

TLoB aka TMFtS is obviously having some sort of identity crisis, can you please decide which of these you are. I think you're about right with the year, as I had the BMW for 5 or 6 years and an Escort for about the same prior to that. The Montego was stolen from my driveway, probably very soon after the photo was taken.  I'll check my training diary, as I used to list all the Coope's Dozen participants.

However, whilst not wanting to disagree with all your posts, JtE, I think you've got the wrong John, surely that's you in the pink T shirt. Also TLoB/TMFtS is right with his Ray Miller identification, Colin Jones has never had that much hair, even when he was a hippie.

Amble

As was probably guessed, not a good day for me, I blame TF's Foxholes reps just two days before. Well done to NLN and YJ, who were both back almost two hours in front of me. For much of the event I progressed like a small child out shopping with an impatient parent; tucking in behind a walker and keep running a few steps, just to keep up.

Winter Hill

We all thought we had a star in EYJ and he proved it to the racing fraternity on Sunday. Onwards and upwards John. TF seemed puzzled that she was included with the Horwich photos, doesn't she know that she's an honorary member, not sure whether that's as a pin-up or a mascot though. Not spoken to YJ since Sunday, but he'd said that he didn't expect to finish; running to exhaustion seems to be just a part of his extraordinary training regime.

This Week

UTUPing Thursday and Saturday, then Bolton 5k on Sunday.
