    The race does not always go to the swift, but to the ones who keep running

    It's a shame fell running is not in the olympics.I always thought the Olympics were for amateur sportsmen,and with Fellrunning being one of the only non professional sports ...
    The thought of football and tennis pro's winning medals would make the founders of the modern olympics cringe !

    Well, my brother lives in Weymouth, so we're hoping to get down for some of the sailing.

    Who in the right mind wouldn't try to get to an event or two or even a chance to compete?

    I'll look forward to seeing you in the marathon RR, or have you set your sights on something else?

    Just seen a nice article about the Brownlees on Face book. Particularly liked this comment someone left...

    We live in ilkley and sometimes see the Brownlees out training. A few years ago, Alistair was running on the moor and stopped to have a chat. My son had been at school with Alistair and we were asking about his training. After a few minutes Alistair apologised, saying "I am very sorry but I need to go, I am in a race" and several gnarley fell runners appeared over the brow of the hill. Let's hope Alistair is so far in front he can have a "stop and chat" before hyde park
