I wore my JW vest last Sat at the South Downs mara (did the relay with a team of newbie runners from work who loved it - will have to get them doing the JW next year.....) and a man ran past and said 'oh a chariots of fire quote' and quoted the line before to me 'so where does the power come from, to see the race through to the finish, it comes from within' so then I explained all about the JW and it apparently being a well used phrase by Mr JW and it was a very nice moment.
I wore mine to my new club last week and got chatting to someone who has entered this years' but is going to have to defer as her best friend has decided to get married that day - how inconsiderate??
cas, can you get her to mail me - i seem to remember getting an email from someone ages ago saying she might have to defer but they did not get back to me - that might be her
jenny from cobra spoke to me last week she says she thouight that she had defered her place from last year but wasn't sure? i said that I would be contacting you this weekend and id ask for her.
also can I inform all the brilliant jw people that the Mark Perry memorial run (5kish) takes place on sun 14th August, full info on the COBRA website.
cant think of a better way to celebrate the lives (tragically cut short) of 2 fantastic people who lived life to the full

And then he zoomed off into the distance. Uphill.

Hi lurks

thanks mr smith for your assistance Mark was desperste to complete the GUCR and he would have been mightly impressed with your performances.
I have his younger brother Dan as a running partner now whos just taking on his first marathon (notts).

mark
i will endeavour to get more details - like a start time for example, for those who do not have contact details for mark
check your spam folders if you can't see it
this has only gone out to the ultra runners at the moment as i don't have the mailing list done for the relay yet
