Col ran the Worksop Halloween half marathon on Sunday, and despite his running shoes falling to pieces at mile 3,(personally I think they caught fire!) he got a pb with a fantastic time of 1hr25. The route is a really pretty one at this time of year as it goes through Clumber park, and apparently was made even more entertaining as many of the Marshalls and runners were in fancy dress. - One of our friends, Al, has created a problem for himself tho'; unable to do the race due to man flu, he gave his race number to another friend who is a fair bit younger and happens to be extremely fast, unsuprisingly he came in pretty quickly so Al is now recorded in his age category as coming in second!
The Halloween theme was continued as we fetched all of the pumpkins from the allotment, and later when we went to a Halloween dinner party where we had numerous lovely treats including brown bread icecream which sounds strange but is thoroughly recommended, its lovely. Interestingly and suprisingly we discovered that everyone sitting around the table was TV less - so maybe we're not as strange as we thought! - it was quite funny to hear the conversation about the moment of deciding to get rid of the TV and life afterward being TV free, to anyone overhearing us it must have sounded like an AA meeting!
