sorry i have taken so long to reply on here, just like my poor skills at navigation, using a compass map reading and spelling , so are my computer skills and sorting out forgotten passwords again and again.

Things were said that i was probably sensitive to, and he genuinley did not mean to upset me.

Mark mistakenly interprated how i felt into what he thought was said.

Jonha8 and I have had a chat last night we are all sorted and planning a GVS and Stockport social run together one sunday.

once again well done to all who finished, exerlent times by Stockport, i know how mch hard work goes into preparing for this event.

For me, originally my plan was to beat 12hrs 4min by just 5mins to get a sub 12 hr. By Millars Dale I realised this was not going to happen, so then continued on my run to finish around 12hrs 30. I dont know what came over me at about mile 44, I had heard that Paul was only five mins ahead so went allout to catch him, with 5 miles to go i passed him and the two ladies, no way did i ever think that i would get first place. It was very hard on middlewood way mentally and physically. but i finished in one piece 20 mins slower than i wanted, but with an orniment that needs polishing weekly.

Also it was not me that ran up the field across the road at peeperday, i followed the correct route to Edake cross, 100%.

so will i come back next year? we,ll see. :wink:
