4 weeks minus 1 day!

Don't panic. The pain will be short lived! I just hope to have got at least some running in before the day. I'll be fine if I can ride my bike.

[Harry H Howgill]

I know I loved that line too but I thoiught you would all rip me if I highlighted that one!!!!!!....good chat up line if ever i heard one! mind you in some parts round here it might engender a good slapping!

And it has 7 syllables so might just fit into a haiku well too.

Bradley Wiggins read a really good cycling poem during the track champs on Friday night, but I can't find it. I guess I'll have to go to iplayer and transcribe it.

'engender a good slapping' could be the middle line of an interesting haiku

You will be a little star of course...i have put in some canny training then this weekend got a bit of a bug, also the other night I woke with massive cramp in both calves, whats that all about?

freckle just wants to get around
whilst her fell poet friends run abound
sometimes its good to be
at the at rear of the pack
a line of snecklifters at the bar
and a pat on the back!!!!!!!!!
so while you athletes are relaxing early doors
spare a thought for ol freckle
who will probably be stuck outr on those moors
a quivering, jibbering little elf
a shadow of her former self
all this for no medal or goodie bag
but for a more illustrious tag
that of
fellrunner?

'engender a good slapping' could be the middle line of an interesting haiku

Tyneside chatup line:
"Come slap me sweet and twenty"
Might be kind of fun?
