What a shame

Sunday morning proved far too icey and slippery for me to attempt the Stockport 10miler, I'm just too fragile to risk another fall :o

Bad luck SW. I'd come and do Wilmslow with you but it's the same day as my own local half -- Reading. I was out running yesterday, and there was plenty of ice around along the canal towpath. Fortunately I still have plenty of insulating blubber to cushion any fall. Despite all your travails, I hope you're managing to inch your way back to some sort of normality.

Sorry to hear that . . . probably a wise decision given your recent challenges. Does this mean you're a possible late addition to the 2009 Almeria Armada???

wish I could join the Armada unfortunately work commitments and the rubbish flights on offer from the North are conspiring against me - perhaps I should run a half here on the same day to keep in sympathy? Friend of mine has just entered the Barcelona Marathon - anybody know anyone who has completed it?

[SIZE="1"]have been very lazy this last week or so, pavements too slippery, forgot to take running stuff to work, busy with Christmas things - loads of excuses, but have just checked my running log and for the first time in years I will not exceed 500 running miles for 2008. this must change :-([/SIZE]

Clocking over 500 miles a year "for years" is a great achievement -- don't let one little blip put you off. I'm going to achieve little better than half that this year. Here's to 2009!
