Actually someone I knew really well once asked if I thought she was fat (She was). I thought carefully as I knew she really wanted to know what I thought. "Yes", I said finally. POW, smack across the chops. HARD. "I'm ****ing overweight, not FAT", she hissed.

True story.

Jaysus, given she asked the question you would assume she knew the answer. Did you mention taking up running to her???

Heh. The point was I used the wrong term, saying 'fat' instead of 'overweight'. I'd be interested to know if other overweight people would think the same. There's hardly any around here though.

Take up running? Haha. At the time I wasn't running. At the time I was a c*ke fiend.

Ah how times change!!! On the overweight/ fat topic my sister had gained quite a bit of weight slowly and even though she was nt comfortable with it she still had lots of excuses. Anyways she was saying to me one day she was too busy too exercise, eat properly etc so I told her if she was happy, grand, but if she was nt quit making excuses and start planning. She lost 1.5 stone and kept it off no bother. She now looks back and says I can't believe I was so fat! At the time if the fat word was mentioned she would have flipped so yes I'd say a lot of people are the same.

A 5 miler I want to do and Harlequins v Leinster are on the same day at exact opposite sides of the city. Already have tickets for the match so no race for me.

Old blokes who don't look old.

Prizes in yesterdays race for 1st finisher, 1/2/3 SM and 1/2/3 M40. I finished in 5th place and got nothing as it was all vet 40's in front of me and all the senior men behind me. I knew one of them infront was an old bloke, but the others looked far too sprightly to be vets.

I get the opposite - old blokes coming up to me after races to check I'm not in their age category. Okay, I may look like I have one foot in the grave right after a race, but I'm only M40!

Hi Ray, met you just before tymon parkrun on Saturday, and personally i'm relieved to hear how young you are, because I had been thinking bloody hell, all these guys my age and they're smashing 3 hours left, right and centre. There's hope for me yet!

I had some old guy coming up to me after a race this year (Tralee marathon I think) and enquiring what age group I was in. He celebrated widely when I told him.

Rant 1 : Hey, how old I look! :mad:

Rant 2: Old blokes competing against other old blokes. Next time run faster and take on the whippersnappers! Age group prizes are for consolation only.

I'm not proud, I'll take a pity medal

Me too.

I have plenty more pity medals than real ones myself!

P.S. I was going to add that that I value the real medals much more until I remembered the Tralee geezer trophies proudly displayed on my mantelpiece. :rolleyes: Do as I say, not as I do

robinph · 03-11-2014 2:03pm

3rd prize for senior man going to the person finishing in 9th place. These youngsters really need to up their game if they are getting beaten by that many old codgers.

I'm not bitter about missing out on a bottle of booze... honest.

Netwerk Errer · 09-11-2014 8:41pm

Letsrun's new board style. Maybe I'm just a cranky git who doesn't like change but WTF? It's like taking a trip on the wayback machine to 1999. Y2K is coming!! Hopefully it crashes their servers and they have to put up the old style again.

Heard best story today. A guys wife got induced. He was at home. He got the phone call that he should come in so rather than hopping in the car he put on his running gear to run into the hospital. This resulted in him missing the birth.

The fat bloke with the funny glasses and the broken arm who can't sing for **** seems vaguely familiar though.

That sounds like a really dodgy club you are involved with. I'm glad I've nothing to do with them personally!

Charities wanting a fundraising commitment of £10k for a London Marathon place. Kindly take that place, turn it sideways and stick it where the sun don't shine.
