Balls!
I must admit though; I had my URWFRC vest for about 3 weeks before I told him and explained what it was, and didn't actually mention the pre Great Scottish Run pasta party. I can just imagine his reaction to me going to Glasgow on my own to meet up for a meal with half a dozen people I had "met" on the internet. I did tell him that we had met up, but "suggested" that it was a pre-race rezendevous at the start.
Sometimes I have to bite my tounge when I make comment on some snippet I've picked up. I've suddenly become more clued up on medicine than his GP brother, but can't really tell him that a dinosaur told me, can I???
Still I would probably not still be running if it wasn't for these forums and I certainly wouldn't know the runners I do if it wasn't for the forum and thats got to be better than running on your own all the time.
Plus it gives me something to do at work and with all the typing I look busy!
My friends are mildly amused, I try not to talk too much about the forum as I do get some funny looks.
My biggest problem is remembering not to refer to my self as Josie or JJ and not to call husband Mr J :-)
I tend to do this at work (naughty I know) for a bit of inspiration and a quicker line ...
Definitely couldn't do without it now and has kept me running through moments of severe self-doubt and lack of motivation. Altough ran this weekend having not for a week and still think that real running is better than cyber-running!
Phew!
Glad to see this is a happy thread.
I'm with you Flatfeet and Chimp I do this at work to keep sane.
Did anyone see the repeat of Johnny Vagas in Room 101 when he tried to get rid of internet chat rooms. Absolutly Hilarious.
I now ADSL at home the idea to leave work earlier and get home and surf. I told her that if we put the computer in the lounge we can spend more time together while she watches corra EE and every other soap on tele. She wasn't convinced and gave me the third degree last Friday when the first thing I did when I got home 30 minutes early, switched on the computer and then took off my coat and shoes before making her a cup of coffee and my dinner. The tap tap of the keyboard totally wound her up and she started getting realy annoyed but I soon quietened her down by showing her I was booking a 5 star hotel to take her away to for valentines. All of a sudden she had no problem with me on the computer, (that is after I had also booked up a holiday at Easter and to take the kids to see the Thomas Tank show... This forum thing is starting to cost me a fortune, I think Ill have to going back to doing more overtime!
