Night-owl says: Thank you. Hadrian's wall is still on the cards one day I like the idea of specific routes that have a set start and finish point. But they are so many its really tough to choose

Here's my usual question...you are stranded on a desert island. You can take one type of food, one book and one Fetchie. What and who do you take and why?
Night-owl says: Thank you. This is a tricky one of course I had to really think but I think the food would have to be eggs would there be an endless supply of them because they are so versatile and can't be grown which I hope I could find food grown on the islands, so eggs it will be.
For the book I had initially thought a big doorstop book maybe a Ken Follett one I read last year (or one about survival lol) but I think I would want something fun to read so I would bring A man called Ove
Now for the Fetchie I think it would be runnerbean, whilst we've never met. but love her kick arse nature am sure between us we could find the tools to survive or even to get back to civilisation if we so wished.

Night-owl says: Thank you Gimme my favorite times as there was 2 and both of them were the Thames bridges challenges where I got to meet a lot of fetchies. Always great to meet them. Look forward to more of them

Night-owl says: Thank you. TBH I've not paid attention to my bucket list in ages Though now i'm reading a bit more i'd like to visit places from the books I read maybe Iceland would be a good place to go. Or maybe even to travel on one of the tall ships. (A friend did that today and I thought Wow )

Night-owl says: Thank you. I love well packed trail runs whilst locally there are some but the places aren't big enough but love a place called Davy Down you can have a decent run but wish it was larger they used to have horses down there before it got flooded (don't worry the horses were ok and were moved) I would imagine I was running through Americas wild west. I do miss them though

Night-owl says: Thank you. This was a difficult one to answer. There is family, there could be someone running related and its one the answer could change every week, But I think Bon Scott For years I said I could never like AC/DC then suddenly I did, and so I could never see the former frontman live would be a joy to do so

Night-owl says: Cheers McG This was a tricky one so many times and places but how about 25 March 1961 see my mum and dad get married see them both and all their family in the prime of the lives, of course it would not be right to bet o the Grand National that day as I know who won

Night-owl says: Usually it would be a lunchtime run best time to run after i'd been up an hour and have woken up I found doing so after a night shift before doesn't work for me now I work afternoons too complicate things hoping soon now the lighter evenings are upon us some evening runs could be in the pipeline

Night-owl says: Thank you. Aww the real question that divides us all. Yeah I'm a former streaker so which is better I did enjoy that time that would depend on the focus and the individual. Sounds like a cop out But I found the longer streak suited me more
![](/userpics/50873.jpg)
Night-owl says: Thanks .B. there are a few races that stand out but which will I pick guess I will go got Last Friday of the month 5km I Hyde park January 2009 I had been trying to beat my pb there for several months had a couple of nemesis' whom I was trying to well beat but I knew if I could at least keep up with them a pb would be mine. As it goes on this day only one was running but I didn't beat her but kept up with her. The other heard of my great performance emailed a mutual friend to congratulate me Thought it was really lovely of her

Night-owl says: Thank you. Mundane thread for starters its brilliant full of laughter intact its probably all of those things you asked
![](/userpics/64255.jpg)
Night-owl says: Thank you I tend to not have a favourite anything they are favourites though but if I had to choose it would have to be The Shawshank Redemption even after several years and watching it many times I still love it

Night-owl says: Thank you. Definitely Kilkenny Cats will win.

Night-owl says: Awww Thank you Alice lots of sports I could choose as I like most things but guess it would have to the Athletics in the Olympic Games
![](/userpics/17241.jpg)
Night-owl says: Thank you Difficult one. Looking at all the books I've read that I imagine being able to run long distances is small. But I think I would have to go for Ayla of the Earths Children series (The Clan of the cave bear ... )
![](/userpics/1733.jpg)
Night-owl says: Lol thanks. Funny you should say that I do have Ultra yearnings but how far is another question. Let's say never say never
![](/userpics/26233.jpg)
Night-owl says: Thank you. Has to be the mundane thread, its the first I check to see whats been happening who's been on buses and trains and waving fish and so on
![](/userpics/37839.jpg)
Night-owl says: It was my dad. My dad was a reader we joined the local library as soon as it opened when I was about 4. He would always be reading so I definitely got it from him. As for books that influenced my running I guess it would be the Bob Glover books initially. Then Jack Daniels (running coach)

Night-owl says: I like red they say winners wear red don't they. Though I do like a bit of claret and blue

Night-owl says: Thank you i'm probably boring but it would be something like a chip butty and a cup of tea

Night-owl says: Something on a horse. Never ridden one never had the money or been brave enough to.
![](/userpics/7953.jpg)
Night-owl says: Thank you such a hard question. Can't actually think of anything specific but I'm a bit like I don't actually care what someone thinks of me but on the other hand prove them wrong.
![](/userpics/69359.jpg)
Night-owl says: Thank you. Never really run anywhere exotic. Does Dublin count only place abroad I have run. If I could go anywhere I would quite fancy New Zealand not really because its about the furthest from here you can go but love the stories from Arthur Lydiards time and would love to go and run those places where they ran
![](/userpics/13387.jpg)
Night-owl says: Thank you I think it might be Sharkie though it might be back in the days when it was fields here. It was Hyde Park would have been a last Friday in the month we'd run the 5km and have a natter and something toeat after. Yes Sharkie did run remember her beating me in a sprint finish. Hope I'm right and haven't forgotten anyone
![](/userpics/70229.jpg)
Night-owl says: Thank you. Though I haven't really done a race for ages typically running has many advantages but it was so I'm fit enough to enter races and meet new people. Love meeting people especially fetchies.
![](/userpics/1731.jpg)
Night-owl says: Thank you. think I prefer middle of the day usually after I've woken and given the chance to properly wake up. Though occasionally like the odd evening one during BST when i'm not working I think if I got a day job it would be evening but guess I won't know till I get there But hopefully so
![](/userpics/25701.jpg)
Night-owl says: Thank you Don't know if I can pick one individual but its people like Steve Way (there are others) who were overweight and turned their life round by simply running and those who started running late in life (60s) and doing remarkably well like Charles Eugester. They are others just showing age holds no barrier
In another area of my life my parents helped me be happy with who I am allowing me to do the things that make me happy and not actually try to fit in a previously built box
![](/userpics/11413.jpg)
Night-owl says: Awww thank you. That would be Dixy I think I blogged about him a long time back. He's a cuddly bear that was bought for me when I was born. Sentimental really he's seen better days but could never get rid of him
![](/userpics/37911.jpg)
Night-owl says: Thank you. No I think I'm the first runner in my family though my dad played hockey in the local league and am told my granddad, on my mums side played football
![](/userpics/1821.jpg)
Night-owl says: Thank you. That's an easy one for me. Has to be cake

Night-owl says: Thank you. really difficult to pick a favourite/least favourite as I love them all
