What's new since you got back to work?

Happy New Year!

Back at work and 3 good things have already happened...

1. Found a new route to the bank which involves walking through a nice park up a small hill!

2. Realised I can run up the canal to a slightly bigger hill at lunchtime.

3. The forum's back on!

Anyone else come back to good news?

What are you doing for a job now Fleeter?

What with the forum being down it's like having missed out several episodes of a favourite soap opera:)

People had time off??

Thank God for us committed civil servants, keeping the country going while the rest of you party. Even the Army!

Sleep safe in your beds - your courts were still being inspected.

It's where you go to keep up to date with the forum and plan training and racing for the year of course, while getting some well earned rest from running:)

Is a high negativity a good or a bad sign?

I was in the Army for 4 years and remember the hell of 6 months infantry training (which is apparently lame compared to Marine training:eek: ). Hope you are enjoying it- I'd imagine your running fitness gives you a big advantage on the tabs.

Looking at all the whingey army website stuff, they'd be better off spending a bit more time cleaning their baths out.

this might not make sense. i pulled a really heavy transformer out the back of a cherry picker and the other end which had a plug on smacked me square in the chops (tooth went straight through the lip) .
i have a new fat lip for 2007.

ps one of our apprentices said i looked hard though, it did nothing for the pain.

1st Battalion Princess Of Wales Royal Regiment (long winded version).
Know all about Comando training as best friend was in about 9 years ago. The training sounds fairly extreme compared to the army. Not sure I would have had the upper body strength for all of that rope work! Do they still do the 30 miler at the end of the course?

yep the final test week is
12 mile load carry (70 pounds of equipment)
9 Mile Speed March (32 pounds)
Tarzan Assault Course (32 Pounds)
Endurance Course (32 Pounds)
30 Mile Yomp (32 Pounds)

Only 20 Weeks Off :eek:

All good fun, Fleeter. I'm sure it won't be a problem for you with your fell running legs. Look forward to the helicopter crash landing day if they are still doing that. Brings back nightmares for me... Don't forget to hold your breath:eek:

Blimey, they charge that much? Do Wasdale or Emmerdale, much better value.
