To Wilmslow or not To Wilmslow

[El Gordo]

Hi SW, sorry about the delay in replying but I've been a bit... well, a bit drunk recently. There's no other way of putting it.

Ah, Wilmslow. Good old Wilmslow. I used to work very close to there. Their attitude towards slower runners achieved some notoriety last year on the RW messageboard. They do seem very sniffy about the danger of being polluted by slower runners. One half of me says "stuff 'em", they don't deserve your presence. But the other half says that it will be a good test for the foot, and if you've entered, it's a shame to waste it.

On the medical front, you've been cleared to run, so perhaps that should be reassurance enough. If you are strapped up, at least you'll look as if you have a great excuse to slow down.

Yeah, go for it. What's the worst that can happen? Confirmation that Wilmslow is full of..... idiosyncratic types? Boogar 'em.

Do let us know what happened.

Cheers, and the very best of luck if you do decide to do it.
