I've experienced it first hand, as the time trial I attend every saturday only exists because people are prepared to give up their time for others. Running has really exposed me to a lot of good folk. I wasn't actually doing anything yesterday, except for trying to catch a few memories for people. The fetcheveryone crew were really amazing though. Not only were they supporting specific runners, they were also handing out sweets, iced lollies and providing crippled runners with deep massage from the side of the road. I think they must have touched a lot of people yesterday and made all the difference. Hi Roads

It was so flippin hot I was almost passing out on the side lines. So many people were cramping up and screaming as they passed me. It was a very good warning for me to prepare for a bit longer, and perhaps, if I can quit the beer, lose a bit of weight first. Also I will run in my cycling shirt so that I can carry a kilo of jelly babies in my back pocket. Folk seemed to really struggle accepting sweets from the crowd while still running. You should have seen their eyes light up as they spotted jelly babies and then how destroyed they looked as the bounty dropped out of their fingers to the floor. I would have laughed if it hadn't been so painful. Rach, that is so impressive. It was so flippin hot I was almost passing out on the side lines.

I'm really impressed. I think she only got into running in the past year or so. AJs friend Yvonne did it in 4:38:40. I’m really impressed. I think she only got into running in the past year or so.

Not if, but when. You're going to run the London Marathon. Very well done for volunteering yesterday. I always try to thank the marshals and volunteers when I'm out running in a race, since they've given up their free time to be there. It's amazing how many people just grumble instead. The answer is definitely yes.
