It seems like only yesterday that I was struggling run a few km. same here. i started running last april for the first time, having about 20+ years of chain-smoking behind me (it's about five years since i gave up). it was a nice feeling when i could finish one km without walking. by may end, we did a 10-km race. of course i took my own time doing it (1:26). kind of kept at it and managed to do the half past sunday in 2:48. good enough for me. will do quite a few halfs and get comfortable doing it before trying to do a full sometime next year.

RE: OT - Britain and snow
From: Bob W This is how Britain dealt with snow almost 50 years ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl4pJwcE7JI Excellent quality archive material - thanks for posting. Sadly all those branch lines have gone thanks to Beeching, the bastard. Boy we could really use them now. They've all been turned into fecking useless cycle tracks. They should be turned back into railways so that proper cyclists can get to the nice places and cycle on the fecking roads where they belong. All the motorists should be shot and their rotting corpses used to fertilise the countryside, thereby removing the need for chemical fertilisers. Then they should dig up Stanley Baldwin and make him Prime Minister again. He did make some fairly nice steam locomotives. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Snowdrift at Bleath Gill http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymz6D8eFeUg I like the fact that they have someone with a 'regional' accent doing the main commentary. His well-hidden accent sounds a bit like Michael Parkinson's, which is Barnsley and therefore entirely the wrong area of Yorkshire for the film. But the speaker sounds as though he spent most of his Oxford years losing the accent, only to be told by Cholmondley-Warner of the BBC to dredge it up again for the sake of a patronising commentary about tough working class cheps.
