"But if they were "bright" would they be doing 100 miles?

Oxymoron there somewhere!"

If they are readers of this forum then surely there is an
oxy-oxymoron somewhere? :) I don't know, I just don't know.

The LDWA membership and events along with FRA events etc still continue to be the best value. Compare any to the hideously expensive Great North Run (£42) and it's an easy decision for me.
On the thoughts of any 'Ultra' event, Dean Karnazes and Don Allison (A Step Beyond; A definitive guide to ultrarunning) give some good insight into reasons for attempting the 'very hard' but i suppose we are all individuals and all have our motivations. Sometimes it's just a bloody good laugh !!

Re Scarborough Rock , just had my confirmation and no route details there, register from 7am at Scalby Parish Hall. Mass start at 8.30



SCALBY PARISH HALL IS LOCATED ON THE A171 BETWEEN SCARBOROUGH AND BURNISTION. PARKING IS IN THE HALL CAR PARK OR SURROUNDING STREETS.

£42 to run 13 miles!!!!!!!!:eek::eek::eek:
I can do that for free...just go out of my front door, turn left or right and start running.:D

I thought I'd see how much for the manchester run yesterday, for laugh, £32. It'll cost me £8 for the two crosses and it's three times the distance, doing the short route, and 100 times the fun!

Yup and thats for the privilege of running on the tarmac in a massive crowd
that is a big step backwards in my book
and no tea /cake or pop on the way round

Anyone know if the Rombalds stride is full yet?
Cheeers
Tyke.

It wasn't full as of Saturday - but filling up fast
