I run for me, no work, no wife, no dog, no kids, just me, so I really relish the time in my own head. And as SB points out I am pretty miserable bastard most of the time. And yes RWR that was me, I am quite good at steaming up hills, just not very good at steaming back down them. If you were into Rowardennan after me you had had a superb second half to hit that time.

57.5 Degrees of Pain Apr 2015 9:06pm, 30 Apr 2015 2,320 posts	0 57.5 Degrees of Pain Matt Laye was staying with us last night on his wee highland tour HappyG. My wife is American and invited him if he came north. Great guy, and also works in aging research which is of interest to this aging runner! Funnily enough he also stayed with another American Fling runner Jamie Aarons, who I went back and forth with for almost all the race.

Sjjh May 2015 8:19am, 4 May 2015 45 posts	0 Sjjh She is one perfectly formed and perfectly timed princess. Doing well, still being looked after in hospital as she was only 4 pounds but off all fluid drips and feeding on milk only. Love her so much.
