You called???...
I see you're about my age too!! I've always enjoyed meeting people from other countries!!...
Try the Manx Mountain Marathon, it's a great one!!!
I'm sure I could help you find somewhere to stay as well??..
Incidentally the regulation gear for any ladies under the age of 35 running in the manx mountain marathon, is a lowcut short tight running bra & a pair of tight lycra shorts. The reason behind this is so that the clothes dry out in the frequent showers we have. Honest!!.... ;-)
