Who wants to run when you have 2 wheels

Fuck that, still getting over the 2008 round the bays.

And beer is terrible post-training nutrition. But you knew that already.

Also, when you say 'not a weirdo', one presumes that that's girl-code for 'don't expect to get a shag out of this'.

The last half I ran, I did in 2 hours flat. I'd like a repeat, but I haven't been training much recently so that's unlikely.

I'm not too concerned as to whether or not the boys are under false pretence Jr. They wouldn't have enough stamina for said act after a run with me anyway.

its not the weirdos you'll have to watch out for - its all the leg humpers yappin' at your heels

That's a good idea Dave and I agree re pollution etc. Unfortunately I like a good hour each run and there just isn't enough time to eat and have a shower before my next patient comes in.

piffle! I'm spoken for so the challenge is out of the question but that's a Hell of a gauntlet to lay down missy.

LOL!! It's okay Gwinch, I have a boyfriend. I was just talking myself up.

What can I say, Jr brings the bullsh*t out in me

If you still want a running partner flick me a PM or something. I am available most week nights.

**Delerium** · 24th June 2009, 18:53

Im centeral (mt Eden), but im running every day (except at the moment becuase I have exams and iv been lazy and useless).

I tend to do shorter distances (2-5 km) in preparation for my fitness test with work. But Have done the onamalutu half marathon also.

Ah, but it's still not bad advice.

For what it's worth, the last half I did was in 2005. 2:09 @ 95kg.

Might have a crack at the Auckland one again this year if I can scrape together the cash for a pair of new running shoes before then.
