Banter mostly consisted of middle aged women talking about menopause or middle aged men talking about getting their polyps operated on.

    I have been running ever since so I imagine that there is indeed therapy in racing against them and just doing a forest gump through the finish and away, away into the distance never to return.

    First conversation I overheard at a previous job:

  • It was my boss in Abbey National in Jan 2003 who got me a charity place at FLM as it was called back then. Was life changing. I did one corporate lunchtime 5km relay in MK that summer but that kinda thing didn't appeal once tried.
