Stander Oct 2017 9:55am, 18 Oct 2017 15,583 posts	0 Stander I'm done. You lot are a fantastic bunch of people. You demonstrate this by the awesome feats that you accomplish - whether big or small - every day in your running. Be it multi day marathons or a 5K. And not just the running - just look at the very many different threads in the forum. From serious shit such as depression to the joke thread. For me, the biggest highlight from my time on here was the massive (and that word certainly isn't big enough) support I received following the death of my wife. Not just the crazy amount raised in donations for when I ran VLM that year, but also through the "My wife - lateness news" thread and elsewhere. But I really am done. I haven't run step one in a year (outside of a few treadmills runs at a gym where I have now given up membership of). And pretty much the only thread now on my watchlist is the joke thread. I have no desire to start running again and despite Sir Fetch's best efforts, I have less on here that draws me back in every day. So thank you to EVERYONE here. Some I've met. Some I wish I hadn't met (not really). And others that wish they hadn't met me (I'm looking at you Rich at the Cambridge Fetch Mile. You're face when I was changing into "the suit" was priceless).
