Andy - I just have to say that you can't quit running! Just think of all the other side benefits you get from running (this forum, Almeria, friends all over the world...). This wouldn't have happened without the common thread of running. I always say it's the social aspect of running that keeps me out there. Actually running a race is really not that much fun (for me). It's the afterwards part when you all meet for a coffee or something stronger that makes it fun. Without running, a big part of my life would be gone.

And to now seriously think about the 2009 FLM. Sounds like there might be a few of us running it. Because we go through the overseas tour group, I think we're assured of a spot. So we're in. Wouldn't it be great to all be training for the same race and plan on getting together (I won't screw up this time!) in London both before and after. After is more fun... And maybe SP might want to join us??!

So just get out there!
