Having said that I don't really live in Wales do I because Pembs is little England beyond Wales is it not?
Matt just noticed that you have raised money for the kids ward @ Withybush which is fantastic.
I make cider & donate any profits made from the sale of it to the kids ward by way of art equipment & games etc etc
My cider is only produced using local apples & if you know of any that go unused & are left to rot on a garden or orchard floor I would appreciate a bit of heads up to the owner.
The more apples I get my hands on the more the ward gets.
I also hold a local fund raiser once a year for them if you ever fancied donating a days graft
Hence the reason we have loads of place names that end in ton ie Jameston,Rogerston,Clarbeston,Wiston Loveston,Lambston,Bangerston,Robeston, I could go on & on.
Ton denoted a village or hamlet that was a safe haven(loyal subjects) for his troops,problem was a few of you unruly bloody Celts never quite knew when you had been conquered and occasionally tried to rebel against the crown
I live near Newport. The scruffy one just over the bridge, not the Dyfed or Pembs one (unfortunately). But I'm not Welsh (born in Devon - lived in Wales for the last 5 years though). My son was born in Caerphilly, so we have Welshness in the family now. No denying it. Poor lad.
Don't get to do many races these days due to family and work stuff. But one day I will do Cardiff. And Tour of Torfaen half again - see if I can beat my last PB there (for those of you further west, it's fairly outrageously downhill for the first 7 miles).
it's a bit of a sneaky one, is torfaen. i needed by 7 times table for my mile splits for the first half when i did this the first time and i am NOT a fast runner. didn't help that the mile signs weren't all that reliable and when i saw one coming up in the distance and looked at my watch, i thought i was being a little slow - until i looked again at the sign and realised i was 2 miles further on than i had expected to be!
i run so slowly i have to do something to keep my mind occupied. i'm rubbish at maths so trying to work out how fast i'm running (don't have a garmin) keeps me occupied between miles. if i wasn't doing that, i'd probably be plotting what home improvements need doing or thinking about the fact that we haven't been on holiday for a while, and would end up with plans to spend money!
Done hangover 10k in weston. New years day. Clocked a marker with "6" whey hey I thouhght round the corner and finish....................no it was 6k mark! However in my defense I was still over the drink drive limt(i was driven there by family!)

LOL!
I never check my splits. I run to the finish line and lie down on the floor. Works for me
Rubbish at maths?
