When people see you out running they have one of two reactions. They either look at you like you're from another planet, or they say that they would like to be be as fit as you but haven't got the time to train. Yet they've got time to sit there every night and watch Eastenders, Coranation Street, Emmerdale, Brookside ect......
It just shows that the country is becoming a bunch of lazy, couch potatoes that thinks hard exercise is getting up to change from BBC 1 to ITV, instead of using the remote control.

(Very true)
Maybe the scientists are right - exercise does keep the brain active and sitting in front of a TV does make you brain dead.
Wonder what sitting in front of a computer all day does to your brain???
Young lad (guessing he's about 11ish) jogging along with older lady (guessing 35ish mum, certainly not built like Paula Radcliffe) - there's still hope
Not unless they nipped on a Silverlink train up to Cheddington - but of course that means 2 rays of hope (or is it 4?). See Ricky all is not lost.
PS - JJ did you do the Bushey 1/4 marathon when our very own Snicks won a ladies prize on the back of a most outrageous evening of partying and I trundled in about 20+ minutes later?
My own daughter who is 4 has started to "run races" since coming to see me in the Windsor Half.
See you next year for Bushey then (or Watford 10k which is a bit earlier in the year) - both had 1(ish)k fun runs for any age kids (including 4 year olds) which mine thoroughly enjoyed - complete with certificates to take into school (I believe the phrase is well cool).
And then there's the King Langley Puffer 10k, the Hemel 10 mile, the Ricky(mansworth) 9, St Albans marathon etc etc. Beware it can be contagious :-)
Thanks for the info about bushey fun run for kids I might get her entered next year :-)
