I got a jingle jog medal today.

It was nicer than that one.

Brillo, in 15 months you can get one...



Over the last 12 months I have became a dad and ran the MDS. Running the MDS was easier. When people say running the MDS is hard it ain't. OK day 4 was hard.

Graham Souness when playing for Liverpool was asked once if he though the game that day would be stressful, he replied "not being able to pay your mortgage is stressful"

So BP, are you going to sign up as well???????

Almost certainly not - but I will think about it. A few reasons :-

1. It is seriously tough - pain is inevitable(even if suffering is optional). Have you seen the way these guys train? Sharp stones in the socks before running. I don't mind losing toenails, but this is well hardcore.
2. I don't like events abroad. Partly as I have little money. My comments about going bankrupt on s58 are not a joke.
3. My best discipline is cycling, then swimming, then running. I have recently learned to run properly (yes really!) but it still takes it out on the knees. I have had keyhole twice on the right and once on the left. On the right, the next time the cartilage goes it requires breaking the knee in half and rebuilding! That's a 13 week recovery time.

At the moment I am learning to swim and cycle properly - then I'm going to do something at enduroman in June. After that I might do some long swims, or maybe just a few IM while I think.

Hats off to Minestrone - even to be thinking of attempting this is amazing. I think you deserve a hell of alot of credit for this. I just hope you keep us updated with training.

Toenails falling off don't hurt. Have you seen those blisters though! OMG

Takes a lot of effort to quaff that much champers.

Not when your stomach is as big as yours. Did you eat the glass too?

bad blisters, aye

I know a bloke who did the coast to coast in wonky boots. After two days he was walking on the SIDES of his feet, and every evening when he took his socks off, after they dried, he could snap them

anyways, Minnie is impressive. damn fine job

MF does that to anyone who posts something interesting.

He will ignore the facts. That I posted someone had done an enormous endurance event of cuk making my efforts look like a walk in the park. That MS then did a big searched and outed you. And you were reluctantly forced into the "limelight".

On the plus side - at least he fluffs the thread....
