Thanks for the warm welcomes and feedback, everyone, and the reading suggestions, eavesy.
Yes, Harry... I do live and work in Kendal. Would like to join you some time but never have to date. Wednesday evenings are a bit hectic for us. I used to play football over at Queen Katherine on a Wednesday, at 5.30pm and then rush home to help with family routine (tea, bedtime, etc.). Nowadays, with me not playing football so much, it's still the usual routine but my wife tends to go swimming at around 7.30pm as it's one of the few times when the the leisure centre pool is open for adult swimming outside normal daytime hours.
Do you only meet on Wednesdays? I seem to remember that you have family meetings at other times but our boys are only little at the moment and probably a bit too young for a running club just yet...
