    RE: Well done but their easy!

    Well I'm 56 now, 57 on the 12th May, and was a reasonably good Club runner.</p>

    My claim to fame is that I finished 1088 in the National X country Championships in 1985 at Newcastle running for the old Barnsley Road Runners.</p>

    If you carry on running expect to develop a runners heart.</p>

    I have left ventricular hypertrophy so I have tell the Hospital when ever I go in for surgery that i was once an endurance trained athlete. Otherwise they think I have a heart problem.

    ah ok. I'm only in my 20s. So maybe time to make my heart fitter yet. No smoking or owt now. So should be healthy if I keep it up. :) You having surgery then? Do you go gym?

    I've had ear surgery twice and had 3 knee ops (accidental self inflicted stab wound which put me in BDGH for 25 Days).</p>

    I don't go to the gym, I just open the door and run.</p>

    I do have a 16 kg dumbbell kit which I occasionaly use for upper body work.</p>

    Well done to network rail

    Travelling from Barnsley to London via Sheffield....services stop at Meadowhall and replacement bus service to Sheffield station, except the buses can't get through because of the marathon! So I missed my train by 10 mins!

    Great planning to have engineering works on the day of the marathon!


    And well done in a serious way to you
