i would like to say congratulations to paula radcliffe for her amazing win this morning in the London marathon - she achieved the second fastest recorded time ever, running over 26 miles in less that 2h20m -- what makes this even more incredible is the fact that she has never run a marathon before. |

Paula Radcliffe lives & trains in Loughborough (Near Leicester ) . about 3 months ago I was out running and deciding it was a knackering waste of energy, when I heard two voices coming up fast behind me ... .. ZOOOooom... overtaken by none other than ...Paula Radcliffe & some handsome fella, going casually along at around 30 mph and chatting like people in armchairs in the pub ! I'm glad she's the best in the world, anyone any faster would be really scary! BEEP-BEEP ! (roadrunner) :) |

I wonder how long it would take you to walk the motherfucker... 26 miles... how fast does the average person walk? |
||||||||

|
|
Yes, too many pies and pints |

eric_hard_jams....i know what you are doing...did you know it is 'dj is a charmer' too...i know you are not him... "....can you send me a sample of your voice saying 'rephlex' , 'braindance' and ;your name' |
||||||||

|
|
well, if you remember that old steven king novella, anything less than 4mph and you would be killed - so that's 26/4, equals about 6½ hours - so some of them fuckers are going pretty slow! and ben, it's good see a yorkshiremen who can admit it! |

The Long Walk... that's a fucking great story IMO... not exactly original, or exciting... but somehow strangely compelling, like The Beach, or American Psycho... nothing much in the way of plot but unputdownable |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, i liked his collection of early books - american psycho is pretty dull i think - i couldn't finish it! maybe it suddenly changed completely, but having seen the film, i doubt it! |

The leading wheelchair guy's gone the wrong way and doesn't realise he's fucked it all up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
To be fair, it wasn't really his fault -- it was the damned Police Escort who led him briefly astray! I'd be most surprised / chagrined if he was DQ'ed |

she's a runner Radcliffe resisted calls for her to move up to the marathon until she felt the time was right in 2002, and quickly showed a liking for the distance with a stunning debut in London in 2002. Her 2:18:56 victory was the second fastest marathon in history, the fastest debut (by four minutes), and more than three minutes faster than the previous record for a women-only marathon. Displaying her usual front-running tactics, she ran a solo second half in 67:52 |
