Fell Ponies??

Well Done MG!
think if I ever do a marathon, it'd be something hilly/scenic like Kielder/Snowdonia/Langdale...

There's been a bit of a conversation on the amount of ascent amongst a few fellow members of NFR. View is that it was nearer about 2750 feet and that things like Garmins can overestimate. Explains why mine shows 100 feet of ascent when I do a few laps of our running track! Still an awful lot for a marathon though

Saw AK, he wimped out due to man flu, but was taking piccies. His wife ran too.
Also ran the last few miles with Phil Green :thumbup:
Oh, and met Steve Cram!
The new vest is well and truly worn in! :wink:

Well done MG :thumbup:

Seriously though, bloody well done Marra Thon runners:thumbup:

Well said Fosterlegsmerrysteve, these women dont know what manflu is like, but your words sum it up exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even though I was on death bed, I managed to pedal (slowly) around Kielder to snap Missus and MG, it was a marathon struggle:o.
I will send MG's pics to Pony site as i do not have her e-mail address.
I have to say MG looked fresh as a daisy after the race, my missus was wrecked, slight age difference though, I have pampered her since Sunday!
Some good pics from Kielder at www.kath22.fotopic.net (saw phil green but not MG or missus)
I will be back running soon I hope.....ttfn

MG my missus reckons 1800ft of climb by her garmin

Are any ponies cracking the whip at Pendle, and has Amex found himself a support role there in village hall or pub,,,,,,,, mines a pint Steve, get one for fosterlegs while you are at the bar :)
