My best friend moved there a while ago and we try to visit when we can. It would have be great to co-ordinate a race and a visit. Another time though. cheers

Actually, the bra came in handy. I was soooo warm that I ended up tucking my shirt up into the bottom band of the bra... Blush

Of course, if I was a guy the shirt could have come right off....(note to self: just a jog bra next time)

You can actually make it a sticky Smile

When you click on the thread there should be an options link on the bottom left of the page. It will give you the option to make it a sticky thread or lock it.

As moderator, only I can make things sticky...and I agree, this one is worthy. It is now sticky Smile
