Reading your 'Pearls of wisdom' article was very interesting and inspiring.
I've been running for 16 years and i think the biggest thing I've learned is "Take something positive from every run, be it a race or a training session". Not every race or training session goes well, that's life. But there's always something you can learn, always something positive to say, even if's just "I suffered and got through it!"
Running's hard so don't make it tougher by always focusing on negative parts of a run. Taking away a positive lesson will make you metally stronger.

never eat yellow snow!
If it was your first 10k, how come you had a pb?
(coat, door)
never mind.
So if someone is beating themselves up over a time run on a long course, I wouldn't bother. I have studied the times from this year's race and noted that the runners of a similar standard to me all ran at least a minute slower than I would expect them so on an average road 10k.
There am I, putting my usual comforting forum arm around a fellow runner with a disappointing time and along come the jokers to take the mickey!
Apparently they had over 300 entries on the day - ouch:-)!
How you slander my good name!
If you look over on the events thread, they had some problems up the funnels at the end:-)
Stuck in a funnel? Which event was that barnsleyrunner??
But it isn't.
