advice needed

Thank you for that, got it now.

I took out my new running shoes on a test run today. Only managed ten mins before I was knackered though. But boy did they feel so much better. I was having serious pains in my shins running in normal trainers but with these, there was no pain at all. Anyway thanks again everyone.

P.S

I like to think of myself as a mans man. You know the football (CHARLTON FC ) and lager type, but theres something about all this that brings out the emotional side of me. I hope I dont break down at the finishing line bawling like a baby.

John, I hope you DO weep at the finishing line. It's a great feeling!
