ps: are you a manchester person Fluffa? I ask because I recognised you from your photo - I saw you running near Kingsway when I went to have a quick look-see at the route!! (I live nearby).
pps: I recommend some fluffy Armin van Buuren stuff to start, followed by Astral Projection for the "meat" of the run, followed then by me hard NRG from Weirdo to finish

hiya...i'm not from manchester anymore....was born there, and moved back to go to music school...now live in cambridge ...i moved here to go to uni, and just stayed... i wanted to go to manchester 'cause it's a bit of an old stomping ground.....we went up for the weekend and had a pretty cool time....ahhh i really forgot how good chips and curry were i like the music plan.... i normally have underworld or some chilled trance for the first 2.5 hours, and then some of my favourite r.e.m tracks (usually reckoning and out of time) to finish...bit of a change of scene.... used to be dire straits but i'm getting sick of them....i thing a total change of music is a bit like a new race.... so you recognise me from the marathon? which bit was kingsway? i was a bit lost in electronica minnie....def. up for that sing song....might piss a few people off but worth it! xxxa
Er, Kingsway is the street name of an A-road near Levenshulme and Fallowfield. I forget which A-road it is, but it's fairly major. It's about 3 miles from the city centre as the crow flies, but I have almost no idea of the rest of the Marathon route so I don't know how far you'll have run. I don't even remember if you were actually running down it - I was in a hurry and my brain processed the following information: "Want to go across road. Can't. Blocked cos of marathon? Yes - see girl in red shorts and Camelbak like I use for bike. She wears race number. Must be marathon. Have to go elsewhere."
Ironically enough, my best friend is moving to Cambridge fairly soon.
Possibly see you at FLM (you can borrow one of my minidiscs if i remember them! )
minnie, acdc....hmmm never heard any....it can't be that bad...i have been known to listen to status quo....when i was little (ahhh) my mum used to come back in the evenings from her 3 miler singing an asthmatic rendition of "rocking all over the world" ...naturally, when i started running i just thought quo was the stuff to run to....and it's not all that bad for once in a while....you just have to be careful not to sing along
small world... i was never much of a musician, though...i was ok when i started, but didn't do much in the way of practice...then totally let the side down by doing maths at uni since leaving chets i didn't really play until a few months ago when i bought myself a piano....now i'm just trying to get some technique back....slowly.... what with running, work and study there's not too much time... what do you play, then?

i will give some thought to what we could sing. currently listening to highway to hell (ACDC - don't ask!!) which, by mile 24, it could be...

afraid i did go to chethams...what a weird place
status quo...never considered them, but it might just work
had a bad run yesterday (grr) so i'm trying not to think about running too much (despite being on the forum) and any associated songs
jon, who have you known from chethams....i left in 97....maybe we have some commom acquaintances...
I knew a load from Chets who'd have left in 96? Yup 96
Studied in London (RCM) so know a fair few who knock around this neck of the woods

what do you play, then?
I have to tackle the immense task of writing a piece of fairly lively music for full orchestra, which I ususally try to avoid. You lot aren't helping.
