I was once chatting to the checkout lady at Asda when she asked me what I was doing at the weekend, I said I was doing a 9 mile fell race called Noon Stone. She asked if I was doing it for charity to which I replied 'no'. I explained that fell races are something I do on a fairly regular basis and I couldn't possibly collect money every time to which she replied that if she ever ran 9 mile it would have to be for charity!!

I was telling my elderly neighbour about my BG attempt last year and explained that it had to be done within 24 hours otherwise it wouldn't count. She asked if I would be going home to sleep through the night section!! Great idea but that's not really how it works!!
