Good job you said that about being young beep, thats what made the penny drop ;-)
I like this one sooooo much better. Come on the under 40's. Feeling young, at least until October anyway..
Of course, we more mature runners may have a bit more of a battle on our hands this time around...
West Sussex, Saffers? Was in East Sussex myself priori to moving up North
Ah, this one makes more sense. Sometimes these things take a little longer to figure out as one gets older ;-)
Small world Sareybabes, bit cold up North for me...although not that warm down here of late!!
I everybody have nice runs
I see you are doing the GNR in October, I am doing the GSR in October so good luck with yours Sareybabes
Beat the Geazers. Beat the Geazers. Beat the Geazers.
and gives me motivation:)
just joined, watch out youngsters!! LOL
Eat dirt young uns!!! Hi Saffers, thanks, good luck with the GSR - and its not cold up north they just tell you that to keep you down there!! ;-)
Thanks for the invite Sareybabes, ready to trounce the youngsters!!
I love the fact that I count as a "youngster" in this challenge :)
Hey RicC does that make me as young as you. LOL

Wow, this just started and already it's 36.8 to 36.06! Hope it stays this close til the end.
Thing is Ric, you have to be a little careful what you say cos one day you will be one of us... on the other hand we can say what we like about you cos we've been there and done that!!
I am impressed by anyone, no matter what their age, that can get out and run on a Monday morning. I'm lucky just to get up!
Saffers, we must both be bright young things ;-) As you're a lady I'll not ask the rude question!!
LOL Sarey, such double standards! Probably fair enough though :)
RicC sooo glad you picked up on the fact that, yes, I am a LADY!!

Hey Saffers, when is your birthday? Mine's in Oct, too
hi GGP, on the 5th how about yours?

I'm the 11th. We'll both hit a milestone this year! I can quell your fears... the 40s aren't too bad you'll be able to join the Fab 40 women!
LOL.. not sure knowing I can join the Fab 40 Women is making me feel any better about it. We will have to have a joint party. :-)

Wow, look at us over 40's, we rock!
Wow, look at us over 40's, we rock!
The over 40's rock hard!!!
Sorry for delay in reply Wily - GNR is Great North Run and GSR is the Great South Run (a poor impersonation!!)
Saff is from the South Coast of UK and me up in the North :-)
In the last age challenge the Under 40's when lumped together would have beaten the Over 40's so let's not get complacent mature people!!
Uh-oh. The old people must have more time on their hands. They're putting us kids in our place.
Wisdom has taught us that even the youngones end up where we are. In other wordsBeen there, thought that.
Hey Sareybabes you know us soft southerners need to take it easy, not as ard as you northerners. :-)

I don't know about anyone else, but I have WAY less time as a 40+ than I did when I was younger, so I just can't agree with bigRahn.
Hmm. Last time round the under 40's ran a total of 4410 miles against 3840 by everyone else - thought this would be more of a challenge for us mature runners but we musta wore the youngsters out last month I guess!!
Now that may be it, of course... ;-)
Or maybe a few people have had birthdays??
40+'s only have 5 more than 40's should be this big a gap come run you under 40's
Whew, this is a beat down! I can hear my uncles saying "Boy don't let the age fool ya!"
That's what I meant to say but I read back and I think I sounded stoned or something.
Just had to replace the pad on one of my crutches. You youngun's have no idea how hard this is!
Here comes the final push...
the toddlers 40+ are doing well so far. I will take a nap
