Hey good quote geordiegirl! I like this one too:
Bite off more than you can chew, then chew it. Plan more than you can do, then do it.

Good quote BT2!

Thanks to those who have fmailed me their average slowest.
If you haven't yet, can you get them in by 8:30, if you don't I'll go and peek at your training and get them myself!!!
(And I'll choose your words too - not recommended!!! hee hee!)

Hi SAPpers, here is this week's slow list!

There was a few sloppy SAPpers who forgot to get their results in - and I couldn't access the site earlier to get their slow times, so I'm afraid they have been left on the starting line, with random words instead of their own hand-picked ones, sorry, SAPpers!
Never mind, here is this week's report:
It was another race day for the SAP club, as they set off trundling, beneath the "marble" statue (with a "mix" of granite). It was a "momentous" day for Whiskey, as, again, the ankle forbids her from running. Oh dear. But she watches georgiegirl - looking as "lively" as ever, as she takes a "leap" over the "lake", with a faster-than -impressive 10:17. Rosab123 thinks she's at a "dance", she's running so funny, and with a respectable time of 12:31, she is "determined" to love a "duck". Bambi1 , on the other hand, can "get " "grumpy" so she sticks her neck out like a" giraffe" to earn 2nd place with a good slow time of 12:52.
Enriak looks on, "bewildered". He eats a" banana" and holds a "bomb". He needs a bomb cos he's still on the starting line.
The others crowd around him, alas, all timeless. Welshwomble(WW) can't run at the moment, she's sitting on her bike, and she hurt her foot on the "pedal". It was so "painful" she had to put a "patch" on it. Kimble67 just stands like a "rabbit" in the spotlights. The others "recommend" her to cheer on the runners but her voice is too "raspy". Bouncy Tigger2 is sitting at a "table", talking on the "telephone", and eating "tangy" marmalade. Roma is sitting with her, eating "jelly" and "jam" and feeling "jolly".
But what's this, appearing on the horizon? An "earthquake"? No, it's an "ethereal" being that's taking shape, and as she comes into view, we can "establish" that it's the winner of the race - Duchess wins, with an all-time slow of 14:06!
Happy SAPping next week all!
