The Ben Race

[GeoffB]

Thanks all for the congratulations

Im a little worried....Is parenthood really so bad!!?
Surely Ill still manage to find some time to keep up the training. Many top runners are parents of young children. Nick Sharp, Nick Fish, Jonny Bland and Jon Deegan didnt look to be suffering too much at Loughrigg Siloverhow on Sunday!

Or am I being naive?

Please......somebody tell me itll be ok....!!

You'll be fine. I started running because I became a father (at the age of 40!). I used to be into fell walking, but took up running because I could do a circuit of Kinder quicker & then spend more time with my family.

Dux, just make sure you get a good of road buggy and you'll be fine !!!!

No worries Dux,

I only started running seriously post-kids - shouldn't cause you too many problems as long as 'er indoors is okay with it...

Now they're getting a bit older it's even better - taking them camping for the first time at Duddon this year - can't wait

Thread gone quiet on the Ben. Any news, any new confirmed entries to add to the list. Let us know.

Keep the Ben thread at the top !!!

This may seem a silly question but I want to make sure of an entry for 2008.

Should I send it off now................or will that just confuse our Scottish bretheren?

You may be too late

You could always get on the reserve list for 2008 or should that be 2009 !!!

The picture at the top right hand corner of this page, just under the 'powered by phluidity'. Is that not the silhouette of Richard Askwith from the back cover of his book Feet in the Clouds, descending the Ben in 2003?
