As we have a new forum, I thought it was time I gave myself a nickname, rather than stick with my boring "real" name.
Therefore, Jeanne Laurie will now be posting on the new forum. From now on I will be Nessie (can't think why!).
Do you think it will make me run faster?

Quite right and about time you went for a handle. Welcome on board.
Of course you'll run faster............
on the other hand...
Is there any chance you'll venture South of the border and join some of us at Windsor or similar?
All the best,
RB. Thought you and snicks were going to sort your faces out.
Well done on the name change. Hope to join you and some of our other friends in the Loch Ness Marathon.

Blue Knees, I'm feeling very relaxed in my new job, so hopefully no scary tag lines now.
Ellie, how's the training going for Loch Ness. Shattered Shins and I are going to compete for last place!
Like the name though
We've had a lot of rain, but no actual floods where I am. I did see a couple of hardy souls out last night - one of my neighbours who wins lots of the local triathlons out on his bike, and a guy running, although he seemed to be in danger of being swpet down the hill in the small river which had formed.
I haven't done a decent run since Saturday; my Monday night 7-9 miler turned into 1.5miles out & back "bugger this for a game of soldiers" type drenching.
Fingers crossed the rain has let up enough to allow further than 20ft visibility so I can get out tonight!
Race still on!
I don't know if you remember all the dismay and fuss last time the RW forums were changed over to the current ("old") system? With every change comes a period of discomfort as people adjust.
Lots of people came out with ideas on how to incorporate some of the best features from the old forums. We'll be working those in over the coming weeks / months - so watch this space.
The new forum also integrates with all the news on the site (so you can discuss all the RW articles with other readers), and soon will integrate with the event system allowing you to discuss races you are entering or have recently run in, with other people from within the race!
I do hope you get to enjoy the new format.

My only dilemma is whether to keep posting as boring old "Debbie" or get myself a handle. Or will it be too confusing if everyone changes to a new forum style AND changes their name at the same time? How will we know who we're talking to?!
You could always get yourself a face to add a bit of fun to the forum.
Nairn is nice - I've done the local triathlon the last 2 years. Quite a short swim, 11 miles flat cycle (out Lochloy road, past the riding centre and back ina loop) then 5k along the river then back along the sea front. Very scenic and very friendly too.
I've run through Ness Islands quite a few times myself, and it's the route for the Race for Life. Lovely on a sunny day with the light filtering through the trees. Wouldn't have fancied it much on Tuesday night though, the river was so high with all the rain that it would have been pretty flooded.
Do you do any of the local races when you venture North?
What's wrong with using your real name? I like it!

Autosignatures / Tag lines in forum are on the ideas list brought up during our site testing. We'll be developing them over time I hope, but don't hold your breath, there's plenty on the list to go for a while.
Jeremy
I'm still trying to think of one for myself. Any ideas?
Where'd you get that lovely piccie of yourself? Any idea where to find a nice fleecy lamb?!
Do a search on "Clipart" and there are thousands to choose from. Saw lots of lambs, I'm sure you'll find one to suit.
Would be nice Sean/Jeremy if your e-mail facility allowed attachments
